The Further Adventures of the Wilson Women
This is the final story in this series. It is me channeling Hemingway. Unlike most authors of spook stories I am actually IN the business. So I thought you might be interested in what it is really like. If you didn't sleep through American Lit, you will recognize that Papa's story ends at the epilog. Me? - I'm a hopeless romantic and indisputably NOT Hemingway. So I gave my characters their happy ending. BTW the Tybee Island bomb is real - and it is still out there - so sleep well. DT
