Can you believe this serial began with Oscillating Fan? That was our very first “thing.” In case you felt like there was a bit too much unresolved, I’ve written an epilogue for our little 1920’s story. I expected that the characters readers would be most curious about are Frankie the Fireman and Mona the Movie Star, … More Three Things Epilogue
