Collaged photos. A man leans on a white rock retaining wall, his fly suggestively open. His upper body is a silhouette cutout of another image, ghostly and sensual. Within the cutout is part of a bare torso and arm, also leaning against the rock.

Iβm gonna say it: Breadloaf and now Bouchercon superspreader events should be a big wake-up call for the writing community.
Are we going to continue infecting one another without regard for our health or the health of others?
Or are we going to demand community care?

This is your evergreen reminder that you can support your writer friends (even if you're not into the kind of books they write) by asking your local public library to purchase their books. I can't speak for all writers, but I love libraries & love having my books in them!
