The Zero
The Zero focuses on the work of Andrew Vachss, a lawyer who specializes as an advocate for abused children and who also writes outrageous lurid suspense thrillers which function as stealth communications of his fury regarding child abuse. His novels often serve as an introduction to the public of specific information regarding initially unbelievable, but horrible true aspects of child abuse, including stalking, internet crime, and child sexual slavery, both on our own American streets and in South East Asia.

If you are reading this, then you are either new to my site, or mercifully, no longer suffering the old one. One may perhaps make a case that a book should not be judged by its cover, but a business should definitely be judged, in part, by the face it presents to the world. It is quite a legitimate response to be cautious when a business claims that its work is of highest quality, yet its presentation on its website or other promotional material is anything but professional.  

Realizing that my company faced this dilemma in its most graphic form (my old website), I fortunately secured the services of the two companies who have created this current site. Kristen Kahlen of MEMO Communications was the writing and project manager. What I most deeply appreciated was her taking the time to interview me for several hours to understand what it is that I do. She wanted to catch Edgework so that the text and design would be true to my work and to me. Paula Reynolds of PBR Design, responsible for visual design, spent considerable time in consultation with both of us to ensure that image was not only congruent with the words, but made the text live.

It was a pleasure to work with two such professionals, both willing to roll with changes in text, placement of images, nitpicking small quibbles on color and design, and major revisions as well. More important than any recommendation I might make is the site – I believe it speaks for itself. And if there is any concern that a site you might desire would end up looking just like mine, visit the links to their sites and think again. Their respective visions are far broader than this site alone – this is only one exemplar.
