it's here

THE SAN FRANCISCAN arrived, with my long profile, and great flash by Kara Vernor, Thaisa Frank, Robert Scotellaro, Lynn Mundell, a short story by Ethel Rohan, and wonderful art. Surprised that the excerpt from my flash "The Missing Girl" sort of stands alone.

They sometimes post things online after their issues have been out for a while (this is their fourth), so I hope it will be online later. The photo I posted on Facebook is actually legible. I think this isn't.

Also we went to our first in-person literary event in over a year: a book launch for Sandra Wassile in Jon Sindell's flower-filled back yard in the Outer Sunset. It was a small gathering (everyone vaccinated, no masks). Saw some writer friends I didn't expect to, met some writers I didn't know, heard some good poetry and music.
