Announcing!

Cover art for "Drinking the Waters at the Shores of Hell“ Book 1. Inside an emerald border, an angry sea of red pastel stripes angles to shore. Against a gold-brown sand wet at its edge stands a lone figure in silhouette. Roughly drawn in black, the figure faces the incoming waves, legs braced and arms outstretched. The book's title is in black, a handwritten script.. There's a tape effect underneath the letters, slightly opaque, to separate the text from the red and white waves. At the bottom right of the text is another piece of tape, roughly torn into a triangular shape. the words “True Stories“ are handwritten, also in black.

An incredible debut memoir spans a singular time in America.

Seattle, WA

The iconic "Bon Marché Star" glows, several stories above Seattle's major department stores, its comet-like tail two stories above the wet streets, during the affluent 1980’s. There's a tall Christmas tree looped with a glowing green garland in front of a newer store. Globes of paired vintage streetlights are part of the festive look.

Still shiny and new, post-World’s Fair.
