Do take a moment to read the author Q&A. I find them particularly […]

Mixed feelings about the return of the Pandemic Baseball Book Club. On the one hand, it’s nice to see another year of this great resource to authors and their projects that might not get the attention they deserve because of Covid, even if things are “getting better.” On the other hand, Covid. With that, here […]
