This novel is planned as the first in a series. I have two, maybe three follow-ups in various states of fitness. I wrote ‘Gentleman Justice’ as a prequel to the first novel I ever wrote, ‘The Angel House’, which hopefully won’t be the last one I publish. Back when I wrote ‘The Angel House’ around seventeen years ago, using a pen (or many pens) and paper, I didn’t have the skills to write the story I wanted to. I’m still not convinced I do now, but I’m working up to it.
Very slowly.
