I have one question about the consistent referencing to your characters head positions. I really enjoyed your story, but that just proved really annoying. Despite that aggravation though, I will buy another of your books. And pray that all the characters will maintain level heads ?

Thanks for reaching out! Since you don't mention a particular novel's title, I'm going to guess you're referring to a later release.
When inventing characters,I try to make certain they are imbued with traits that make them believable. Taller men, for example, tend to "dip their heads" to acknowledge another. However, for my latest release (and 28th), The Puzzle of a Bastard, I asked that my beta readers and editor pay particular attention to overused characters traits. As a result, you shouldn't find as many references to head motions as you might have found in The Angel of an Astronomer.
