A Newsletter from Joanne Merriam
Just a super quick note. Things are getting pretty sticky, aren’t they? Some stuff to do about all that. I’ve been reading a lot of detective stories1, because it’s reassuring to spend time with problems that are solvable, but I also just finished Chin-Sun Lee’s Upcountry, which was rather dark but very readable. Recommended. And I had the shortest of shorts published today: “Lightyears From Home” at 50-Word Stories. Hope you all enjoy it!
1Josephine Tey and Margery Allingham, though I’ll warn you that occasionally they lean pretty hard into being mid-20th Century British people with all the jingoism and racism that implies.
2Title is the first sentence of the story linked above.

Thanks for being here with me, friend!
