Five writers standing in a row before a storefront window facing the street: Trae Hawkins, TT Madden, Mahaila Smith, Aina Hunter, and me. Trae Hawkins is wearing black pants, a blue vertically striped shirt, and a black coat with what appears to be a white wool lining over it all; TT Madden is wearing a white blouse, a black wrap over it with white and purple hearts, and a skirt with an image of Rivendell on the front; Mahaila Smith is wearing a short red skirt, a black top, pink and yellow shoes, and elf ears; Aina Hunter is wearing black pants and a black top, and a faded denim jacket over them; and I'm wearing red pants, a black sweater which depicts a flying saucer lifting up an abductee, and aliens down one arm, as well as shoes with multi-colored paint drips on them. I'm the only one holding a book with its cover visible: 101 Things to Do Before You're Downloaded.
My drive home from Charm City Spec was so treacherous and time-consuming due to Baltimore baseball traffic I was too exhausted then to share this pic from Charm City Spec, but here I am with the four other readers — @traewrites.bsky.social, TT Madden, @mahailasmith.ca, and Aina Hunter. A fun night!
