How I survived my Husband's Writing
by Ed & Marian Zaruk
ISBN: n/a
Published by: Haakon Publishing

Throughout our married life, I have, on occasion, set out dinner for two with candles. My husband, during rare impulsive moments, has brought flowers home, but what has kept us close through the years is our love of reading. Then his writing entered our lives, and after watching it grow and mature, I became his first reader. While re-working his novels, we've read his manuscripts out loud to each other over a bottle of wine with flames dancing in the fireplace. Such occasions border on the romantic.
