"Everything ends. So suck it up and face it with a little dignity already."

It's December 15th, and at long last, after detours and pit-stops, unexpected meetings and unexpected losses, our journey is finally coming to an end. I want to thank you all for taking this trip with me. It's been hard and it's been easy, and it's been wonderful, at least for me. I hope that it's been good for you, too. I hope that you're glad you came along.

Issue 60 of The Edge of Propinquity is live, and with it, the last of the stories in the current Sparrow Hill Road sequence is available. With "Thunder Road," we have finally reached the Last Chance Diner.

When Bobby Cross finally finds a way to strike at Rose without her getting out of his grasp, is there a chance in hell—or in the midnight—that she'll get away intact? All the adventures and all the allies in the world can't change what's coming, and all we know for sure is that Rose never gets away alive.

Now roll down the window, and let the wind blow back your hair. The night's busting open, and these four wheels can take us anywhere. We've got one more chance to make it real.

Welcome to the ghostroads.
