Loved Dust Devils and Stay Awake. What did you think of Hurt Machine? Haven't read it but it's one the pile along with Womack (thanks!).

Oh, I love these, Patti!! My favourite is your answer to the teenager question. The rest are inspired, too.
I like the Coleman series but you really should read it in order. I missed the last one before Hurt Machine. The James Deans is the best.
