To this day, the summertime begins with the first night of yellow braided into your hair, as if the Maypole still harkened a dance each trip through the seasons, beckoning the whimsy which could only occur with enough flowers in the hair and bells on toes to create a cacophony that brought bees a-buzz and birds a-chirp and beating hearts a-flutter. Seraphemera Books is pleased to announce More to Follow - the next in the series of patiently paginated short stories from Marc Moorash (Stolen Moments, We Are Not Here) with Illustrations by Ava Dawn Heydt. You close your eyes and begin to step in the direction of the ghosts of the flagstone-talls, up which you had run various homemade banners over the years - made of all sorts of cloths, clothing, closings, clandestine messages that would occassionally be photographed and added to the local page seven or police blotter even though there was never any destruction involved. More to Follow contains stories of returning to a place you once called home, and while it has changed and morphed and made itself different, what remains, hidden in boxes, denoted by crevices, grown up through the lands, gives one the determination to be at peace in the battle to be accepting of your reconvening with a place long ago left behind. In an envelope are all of the fragments of stories you never completed telling, the sentences that were meant to be the beginnings of poems, the notes which had yet to find their place but needed to be saved. Here, a note simply read, You know what to do. More to Follow is another entry into the canon of the Quiescence series of chapbooks -- hand-created books that are rivet bound, silk bookmarked, screen-printed dust-jacketed, and individually numbered. There are, without a doubt, no other books being created in this way, anywhere, within a solar system or three. You ve made your choice. You pause again...flutter a bit in the heart...and try and remember what
