He and Virginia are lying side-by-side on the couch, holding hands. He has gone to some trouble and expense to remove to […]
I’m going to resume publishing The Magnificent Five tomorrow, at the rate of one or two posts each weekend. I’ll continue to add episodes from Man Raised by Spiders on the weekdays, until I’ve posted the entire novel in this space.
