A Fantasy

This book would not exist without the keen eye, wise counsel, and boundless energy of Al, Editor of R & D. Al is devoted to the proposition, one largely forgotten since Frank Harris and Henry Miller put down their pens, that adult fiction need not inevitably suffer from semi-literate and ungrammatical writing, clumsy and improbable plotting, and an awkward and ponderous style.
    That's not to say that Richard O Steele now stands shoulder to shoulder with Messrs Harris and Miller; it's just that Al knows how to point a guy in the right direction.
    In short, Al is the artistic midwife whose exacting and uncompromising standards inform every single page of Thy Neighbor's Wife (and Other Sins). It follows that an expression of deep appreciation is due not only from me — thanks, Al! — but from my readers as well.
