Marco Melfi’s book “Routine Maintenance” has a light brown cover with an illustration of a grey wrench stretching across the front. The book sits front and centre on a wooden bookshelf inside a bookstore with shelves filled with more books to the sides and in the background. The plaque above the shelf reads “Local Authors.”

Got my copy of Marco Melfi’s “Routine Maintenance” from @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social so I can get it signed at our reading!

Tonight at 7 PM at Rooster on Whyte!

I’ll bring the macabre vibes and Marco will bring insightful observations rooted in the everyday!
