After too long a hiatus, I finally got to the conclusion of Coyote and it did not disappoint. This was really good, Ed. There's real texture to this writing, the kind that inspires me to do better with my own. One thing I liked about this was how morally gray Carli is. She saved Mitra, but faced with the stark reality of survival, she's not above considering Leo's plan for the girl. A piece of real desert noir.
Thank you so much for reading. I love the Carli character. I once wrote a full novel with her but I don’t think it holds up as well outside the short story.
