Interesting. (And frustrating.)

Is Amazon's ebook return policy ruining authors' careers? A petition launched on change.org has been made to tackle Amazon's policy of allowing users to return books no matter how much they've read.

We’re watching the Delta variant situation, of course, but we’re very much looking forward to this event. Street fair season was always a highlight of my time at Inkwater. It’s nice to see Multnomah Days return this year, even in an altered format. (No parade, alas.) If you’re in the SW PDX neighborhood on August 21, be sure to visit our booth and say “hello”!

I loved reading Suzy Vitello's Faultland this week, in a headlong rush befitting its future-disaster setting. The best kind of PDX novel—quirky, complex, full of character—but also a fascinating study of how pain and healing can reverberate organically in people and places. Recommended!
