This book idear begins with the death of an author. The author was very old and somewhat successful in his early years. In his later years, true to stereotype, he became a recluse. It was also rumored that he had been writing new works for years and vaulting them.

Hard to believe a full week has gone by since I was in NYC.  I’ve started this post a few times, but each time the real world has gotten in the way enough that I knew I needed to come back to it to do it justice.
