Announcements and Items of Interest for July...

Greetings Readers,

Today's post will be brief so that I can adequately prepare for the massive heat wave slated to hit my area in the next few days, not to mention navigating a hectic summer schedule here.

Feel free to add your own announcements, good news or writerly requests in the comments section.
As always, thanks for reading.

BOOK PUBLICATION

I am proud to announce my participation in an upcoming anthology due to be released in September 2020. IMPACT is a collection of short stories and poems from various authors who have in some form or another become activists, opting to make a positive difference in the world in their own small way. 

The book is co-edited and compiled by the great granddaughter of Ida B. Wells.
