Thanks Gabino!

I'm especially mad about the horrors of white Christian Nationalism today, so would love it if more people read Tradwife and got (constructively) angry with me

(*possibly I mean "destructively," but why split hairs...?)

salmon/cotton candy pink background with a book cover and a cover blurb on it:

book cover:a very washed out/faded picture of a lit-up ferris wheel in a hazy summer sunset, with "Amusement Park Arcana" over it in black writing.

Jennifer R. Donohue is at the bottom.

cover blurb: Riley's best friend Tara went missing last October from the shitty amusement park where she worked. By spring, the police are no closer to having any answers, so Riley's taking it in her own hands.

 She just knows Tara's still at the park somewhere, and an uncanny phone call on Riley's first day as a park employee only confirms that. The quest to bring Tara or her body home draws Riley further from her family and her boyfriend as she spends more time in the park's liminal spaces and opening day looms large.

Thank you, Gabino! I’d like to point to my collection of the good, the bad, and the ugly: Fruitless Bodies Annotated. I take my reader along a bumpy ride of my first publications in small press rags to finding my voice through experiments in genre and form, each with personal insights.

Thanhs, Gabino. For #FridayReads I want to share ON COMICS AND GRIEF, a book that combines a look at the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother’s life and my grief at her death. It’s experimental in form, asking the reader to put together fragments as they would when reading comics.
