I've read Barbara Byar's @barbarabyar.bsky.social novel IN THE DESERT, was in fact one of the very first readers, even before the first draft was completed, and it is totally stunning piece of literary fiction. Read it, and you will love it! And you will never have read another book like it!
I've read this novel in its entirety and it's brilliant! If you have a few spare minutes, please give Jen your support!
My novel On Waters So Still is in the Libraro Prize, and I’m hoping you guys can help to get it noticed!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
