The Border
Page 89
At the end of this twenty-year literary hike, I look back with the knowledge that no author has been better served and supported, no author has had better friends or a more loving family, no author has ever been happier in his work. For me, this long walk has been more than worth every step. My fondest hope is this is also true for the reader.
