I have developed OCD concerning your books!  I have read  several in in no particular order.  I would like very much to read them in order.  Would I start in 1991 and work up or do they skip around?  My daughter is a mental health therapist.  Besides thoroughly enjoying the mystery aspects of your books, they provide insight  about her profession.  I am also one who likes to figure out what makes people "tick". Your comment in one of the boks about marriage being " a beautiful quilt made from scraps of love" made me stop and say "WOW". I plan to writ it up and frame it aling with my favorite quote from John  Lennon, " Life is what happens while we are busy making other plans".  Thanks for your books and yoour reply.  Linda Gray

Tough question, if I understand it correctly.

The books take place roughly chronologically, in Alan Time. Alan Time correlates with the actual calendar at a value approaching 1.0 only in his imaginary universe. Although some books have a higher percentage of flashbacks than do others, reading the books in the order they were published will give you the most accurate view of the chronology of Alan's not very real life.

I said that about marriage? Really? What book? Or are you pulling my chain?

Thanks for your kind words about my work.
