Burning the Maps: An ending, of sorts

A Candle for Katherine: A café owner notices the woman waiting each day at Victoria Station.

Marasmus paints a lush image with her words, sometimes bleak but always beautiful.  These two stories from Marasmus' unique perspective, tug at the heartstrings (again)

I originally only posted  A Candle for Catherine here during my UK week (May 2023), not realising that it was a sequel to Burning the Maps. I removed it from display then while I did another cover for the first story.  After re-editing, I found original covers from shannono/xanadu, which i combined but never added to the file in Calibre. Deciding to finally re-upload the story, I again forgot there was the xanadu cover, and made a complete mess again. As a final insult, when making this page live again it lost all my edits and I can't be as pithy the second time around. I think it's time to return to bed and start the day over, and it's just past noon.

Hopefully the links are now right, and I'll come check the tags etc once I've had a nap... and if those little question marks are showing in the dividers of the  html version I'm going to scream.



THE PLUGIN UPDATE HAS BEEN ROLLED BACK YET AGAIN. Today's update attempt was worse. I'll have to get back to the developer. Thanks again for your patience.
