Author’s Note
––––––––
* * * *
I’ve been writing about the Flashback for a long time, since my mid-twenties, at least (I am now 55), and, as a result, these books and stories tend to vary in skill and tone. I like to think they get better as they go, a lot better, but, ultimately, that is not for me to decide. All I can really do is to hope you find the journey a compelling one; and, also, to assure you that they’ll always be more (assuming, that is, that you enjoyed these tales). Until then, be good to yourselves.
