After reading a chapter I recently sent to him, my editor, jetson63, joked that perhaps I ought to indicate in each chapter where a Harry Chapin song should be played while reading.
So... why not?
First of all, here are the two big ones:
"From a review I read in the New York Times; unbelievably cruel, but I imagined what came before and what came after and wrote this story." - HC
"... I guess I am your husband; hello, I'm Harry Crane."
And then within Chapter 1...
The railway foreman's daughter... because Fargo didn't have a mayor in 1873.
"Six days a week, he would wake up..."
The factory owner buying the Burke family's silence about dangerous working conditions.
Harry feeling both his and Ella's heartbeats as he checks the fit of her dress.
This, incidentally, is the (generally) true story of how Harry met his wife, Sandy.
