Fiction
Rachel Carson Pavilion
Leslie Pietrzyk and Louise Marburg discuss their new short story collections, one revolving around a reviled and powerful (fictional) Speaker of the House and those in his orbit; the other connected by the appearance of a swimming pool in each story, serving as a symbol of the privileged middle class. These collections will draw you into the characters they create.

2022 photos: This year included major setbacks -- including Putin's invasion of Ukraine and the Supreme Court imposing the evangelical version of sharia law -- but also some steps forward like the results of the midterms. This website had its 20th anniversary in August, 2022. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: (February) a visit to see Dad and Dixie in Asheville, NC with some other members of my family, (July) a trip out west for the return of San Diego Comic-Con, and (October) a long weekend in New York to cover New York Comic-Con. Number of photos taken this year: about 386,000, up 2020 and 2021 levels but still way below pre-pandemic levels.
