Can anyone guess the band (top left) and artist (bottom right) in my photos here? I'd be floored if you can.

I've been thinking of your piece at least once a week since you first sent it to be. It's phenomenal and devastating. Thank you for allowing me to publish it...twice!

A wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday, my copy of The Best of Stanchion. A few pieces I've read before was like revisiting an old friend, but then discovering other ones I missed, like the 18 word poem by Brian Baker that totally blew my mind... Great issue, Jeff, thanks for including me!

I AM IN THIS BOOK! @lindzmcleod.bsky.social says, "I spent a year of my life writing collaborative fiction with eleven incredible writers; each story is followed by a collaborative deep-dive into the craft of our stories/work and the techniques we used, as well as what worked and what didn't."

I did a presentation tonight at the Moorestown NJ Library. It was full of people excited for my book & ready with questions. One attendee who had already bought and read Street Cats & Where to Find Them complimented my writing & called me the Rick Steves of cat travel πŸ₯ΉπŸ˜»πŸ˜Š
