I very much liked some parts of an old 44K story and not others. So I'm doing a major rewrite. A couple of connected New York romances I hope to get out by the end of the month. And playing with possible covers.

Throwback. My second/last marathon. 2006. On Fifth. With my distinctive head tilt. My wife said she could always know it was me by that tilt, which I never realized I had until I saw pictures.
After I got my bag, I met her on W77th. She hugged me. Said she didn't understand it but was happy for me.

A live wire on Route 22 at the end of my block. The fire department had to wait until Con Ed could turn the power off. It's all been taken care of now and we have power again.

"My Husband's Daughter" has two themes. One is our narrator Cassandra's attempt to find love and/or romance. It's also a story of Her Husband's Daughter and whether she can develop any sort of relationship with her late (and ex) husband's daughter, Scarlett.
