Excited to report a second piece in the Saturday Evening Post, which is known for publishing many of my favorite writers. Having already published “Granddad’s Ballgame” last summer, it has now published “The Querulous Nightingale.”
An excerpt:
I arrived in Washington the same day that James Forrestal went out the window.
My first visit to the capital would have been otherwise forgettable. Union Station was less crowded on a Sunday morning than I’d ever found a stateside train station. Never a churchgoing man myself, I still felt a nostalgia for the chiming bells I periodically passed on the way from the train to the Mayflower Hotel.
They told me I’d been abroad too long.
