About the Book

This book is almost fiction. I say almost because many sections remind the reader of a portion of their lives. It’s not easy writing a book of fiction based on fact. Somewhere in this writing, you will say, “Oy, he’s writing about me.” I love life and absolutely abhor strife. I didn’t have any choice in joining this group. Two people locked in the arms of passion sexually express their love. Now, at this point, I’m only an egg, and I see what I never saw before—a huge race of Olympic swimmers racing toward me! One grabs me, says hello, and the door slams shut. OK, I’m here. Read on.

About the Author

Ed Merwede (also the author of Done!) started his career with Yale University Press. After eleven years as a plant superintendent, he went on to manage three other printing companies before starting his own business with his wife, Ellen. That business, PrintAbility, operated for fourteen successful years before the couple retired to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In the late 1990s, the author was diagnosed with syringomyelia caused by a very severe crash while serving on a US Navy air station. Ed is listed as 100 percent disabled with the Department of Veterans Affairs office. His wife of thirty-five years, Ellen, died in November of 2014. He is now living in an assisted-living facility in Cape Cod. He is also the author of the following titles: Flutter Cellophane Zipper Sorry, the Number You Dialed Is No Longer Available Done!
