by Cole, Nick
And somewhere in it, he heard his granddaughter’s laugh.
You take everything with you.
Walking into it now, his wife’s hand about his arm, eagerly pulling him forward along the river and into the wonders beyond words, he thought, ‘What a strange adventure.’
Author’s Note
I’d like to thank you for reading these books. I hope you had a good time, and I apologize about the tough parts. If it helps, I felt so awful for everything that I’d done to everyone in The Savage Boy. Jin, Sergeant Presley, and Horse deserved better. I hope we ended well in spite of those dark times.
Again, thank you. I look forward to our next time together. If you get a chance, swing by my website at nickcolebooks.com or find me on Twitter @nickcolebooks and say hi.
