explaining

My friend and commentator Marla suggested the title for my new book: ENDINGS. Maybe it will become a bookend for my first book, BEGINNINGS. I took the clue from these gerunds to create the table of contents, also gerunds. I’ll show you, but with an ulterior purpose.

    EPILOGUE: This Woman, Older

Anon, anon.
