Cheers, Wayne. I’m still kicking. Just taking time away from social media for a while. I appreciate you thinking of me. Hope you’re well, my friend.

@STSchorey These are all on my desk right now because I'm teaching 2 different short story classes this fall, and we're studying them. Highly recommend.

Books make me happy, so I'm going to bury you, for the next 25 days, with books you need to read, and *ahem* gift, in pairs or groups that I think go nicely together. Today, we have PICKARD COUNTY ATLAS & UNDONE VALLEY rich with place, these are crime novels, but so much more.

He may not look like it, but Kenneth Rexroth-faced Eeyore is proud as hell of @SouthernmostQu1 for putting out its first two books. Third title TBA…
