Book One, Part Two, Chapter Seven: An EVOL Note

Ernie wrote me a note long ago, in the newsroom where we first met, announcing his plan to introduce me to his parents. We’ll drop by the ancestral estate to announce banns. At the end of this short note, he typed: evol, Ernest.

How full of fantasy Ernie was. How shy and serious he was. How backward in love we both were.

My writer husband’s favorite nickname for me was Ernestina, so in this 2-book memoir, he is Ernie. This is his story, our story, and my story. I invite you in.
