A number of years ago, I wrote my first novel, "Revenge Is A Luscious Fruit." I have since placed it in a drawer, labeled it a learning experience, and hope to write another more publish-worthy novel in the (near) future. Still, being my first novel, it does hold a rather special place for me, so I've toyed with the idea of publishing it electronically. In the meantime, I've scanned the first six chapters and posted them here. If this portion creates enough interest, I may scan the remainder of the novel here also.
I'd love to hear what you think! Click on the title below to download.
