Dear Tom,

Thanks so much for the wonderful note. You are more than welcome to send as many 'atta-boy's' as you like!

The Domino Effect was the first time in ten years that I put my finance background to work in a story. It was spurred by an opportunity to interview the head of compliance within the Bank of England, which would make him the equivalent of our SEC's watchdog chief. He was brutally frank in his concerns over the way the global banks had restarted using tactics that had brought us to the brink in 2007-8. The longer I listened to him, the more convinced I became that this was a story that had to be told, and now.

Again, thanks for writing.

Warmest regards, Davis(less)

All the characters are made up, but I do feel like the people and their chatter is a strong point. The term used by writers is, three dimensionality, where they reveal what is inside, who they are, as well as what they're responding to externally. The other term is, strong point of view, where everything the character 'sees' is filtered through their internal emotional state. Both of these are of course how people in the 'real' world move and think and talk and act.

Do I sound like a teacher or what?

Warmly, Davis(less)

“There’s no debt. There never has been. We are friends.”
Davis Bunn, Lion of Babylon

T. Davis Bunn, The Solitary Envoy

“Your story should open as a door to the reader, where the action has already begun and they have to run to keep up.”
Davis Bunn, Strait of Hormuz
