The March of the TurtlesThe March of the Turtles finds its theme in death. I had never envisioned doing such a book. I have included death references in some of my prior work, but not to the degree it is written about here. Then again, The March of the Turtles is really a 21-year culmination of my relationship with my wife's father, a man I grew to admire and love as so many around him did. He left us this year, just as I was wondering how to get the book finished. It is dedicated to him: Joe Nanney |
