See you in Chillicothe on Saturday!
It feels like forever since I tabled at a show — SPACE 2022, over a year ago! Gotta rectify that. I stumbled upon the Street Cat Zine Fest (URL, Facebook) in Chillicothe, Ohio on the zinelove chat Facebook group (a great group with a distinctly international flair). Stephanie Renner apparently has been organizing these annualContinue reading “See you in Chillicothe on Saturday!”

It’s time to start planning the next big anthology issue of Strange Times, and the theme of this issue will be “The Road Back”. We’re talking about the road. The literal road home.
