The Closing
by Chava Hudson
The Closing: Anne has never seen anyone die before, much less abet a felony; As a new partner in her friend Trudy's real estate business, she sells the houses of elderly, terminally ill clients and helps them die. Approaching middle-age and recently dumped by her long-term boyfriend, Anne begins to question her own involvement: Is she helping people, or is she a murderess? This dilemma has given her a knot in her neck that no amount of massage can relieve. When Anne meets Steve, the attractive son of one of their one of their recently euthanized clients, her guilt is compounded. Anne quits the business, but she has promised two clients a 'last hurrah' in the form of a Mediterranean cruise. On the first day at sea, Steve, who doesn't know Anne's role in his mother's death, surprises her by appearing on board.
This often funny but poignant novel explores friendship, elderly companionship and fresh love, along with the suspense of not knowing if Anne will have to pay for her illegal activities. In the end, the reader is left both satisfied and considering some hard issues. Beside its insights into Anne's relationships and her beliefs, the story raises questions relevant to a baby-boomer population dealing not only with aging parents, but also their own mortality. It explores the issues around the morality of assisted suicide, making the reader question what he or she would do if faced with the very real circumstances of this astute novel.

Tales of the Troupe.
by Rob Dinsmoor
"A Vogue headline announced “They’ll take Manhattan,” and we were naïve enough to believe it. The New York Post couldn’t get enough of us. We were young and hip and life was good. Little did we know what was ahead for our little comedy troupe Chucklehead, which took New York by storm in the 1980s. It was a wild, hilarious, and sometimes scary ride we would never forget. Here are our stories."
