ABSTRACT

On January 15, 2007, I mailed a copy of Last Writes: A Daybook for a Dying Friend to the Left Coast Press, inc., situated some forty miles inland from California’s coastal Route 1. it felt terrific sending the manuscript there. Perhaps the dream I had on July 15, 2006, was prophetic, for with the Left Coast Press, Inc. as publisher, my best friend, Betty, and I are indeed taking a trip together down California’s Route 1.
