The first review of “end tatters” is in, received via cell phone text:
“Finished End Tatters; especially liked About Confusion, Bells, and To Surf, which I hope to do this morning. Milk made me very sad. Waiting for your next novel. Alma and Penina my favorites.”
To drive down, stop, and check out surf spots at the end of a beach town road is part of surfing. A second text from our first reviewer came in that evening, with a couple of pics and a note that he had made it into some waves:
Meantime, still not entirely satisfied with the “end tatters” cover (having already made several changes pre-publication), I made a post-publication cover revision. Copies sold with the blue back cover are now considered to have some increased value for collectors. New cover photos below:

I love the name you chose for the book, end tatters. I imagine you worked in all the bits written on fly away post its that have lost their sticky part, and the obligatory cocktail napkin. Though in your case it would be the not so fancy donut & coffee napkin. I’m looking forward to my copy.
Love you lots.
