In a certain sense, I like to think of my latest publications as the spiritual successors to The Blind Date and The Embrace. There's one big piece that's mostly talking and character interactions with a small bit of action in the latter half, and there's a shorter piece that's a more straightforward fight story.

I'd previously provided an overview of Los Angeles in The Yacht Brawl and its accompanying journal piece, so I think it offers a very interesting contrast. In Las Vegas, a casino functions as the fundamental unit of
