(George, as in this book, is also helping with the second book in the Angel series The Archangel Michael with me, and, as the Lord wills, will continue with or without me in Angel, Demons, and Spiritual Warfare, which is the next book planned to be written in the Angel Series.) My niece, Allana, is my heir and is now an entire sixteen years old. She (or the thought of how she could be) inspires me to great efforts now in my last years. My friend and attorney Ray Castello, who if you know the difference between a few and far between friend and a friendly acquaintance (of which we all have many) actually defines the term for my part, though he is just being the way he is with- out trying. My San Jose, California, Pastor, Daniel Herrera, who has been of such a great help and encouragement to me. My friend, Ron Seward, who had the idea for the nucleus of this particular book, as it was his idea to write precursors to my poetry, explaining what happened in my life to inspire a particu- lar poem. As things progressed, doing that made this a book in its own right, instead of inclusions into other books I am writing.

  • A Is for Alibi
    "A" is for ALIBI Sue Grafton (A Kinsey Millhone Mystery) Chapter 1 My name is Kinsey Millhone. I'm a private investigator, licensed by the state of California. I'm thirty-two years old, twice divorced, no kids. The day before yesterday I killed someone and the fact weighs heavily on my mind. I'm a nice person and I have a lot of friends. My apartment is small but I like living in a cramped space. I've lived in trailers most of my life, but lately they've been getting too elaborate for my taste, so now I live in one room, a "bachelorette". I don't have pets. I don't have houseplants. I spend a lot of time on the road and I don't like leaving things behind. Aside from the hazards of my profession, my life has always been ordinary, uneventful, and good. Killing someone feels odd to me and I haven't quite sorted it through. I've already given a statement to the police, which I initialed page by page and then signed. I filled out a similar report for the office files. The language in both documents is neutral, the terminology oblique, and neither says quite enough. Nikki Fife first came to my office three weeks ago. I occupy one small comer of a large suite of offices that house the California Fidelity Insurance Company, for whom I once worked. Our connection now is rather loose. I do a certain number of investigations for them in exchange for two rooms with a separate entrance and a small balcony overlooking the main street of Santa Teresa.
