The second image is the cover of More Butch Heroes. A red cover has an ornate frame and two cropped images of paintings from the book: Kathleen and Gregoria Piedra aka la Macho.

A Golden-filigree framed image with a grey-green misty background with the book centered. The book cover features a teal background with a central haunted house (typical Gothic, mansard roof, eerily lit interior, surrounded by encroaching mist and overgrowing forest.) The text is in white script and the subtitle in a rich goldenrod yellow that mirrors the filigree detailing and quatrefoil corner pieces of gothic detailing around the edges. The quote from Publishers Weekly reads: "[A] spine-tingling investigation of ghostly mayhem and gory deeds. It's a satisfuing combination of well-sourced fact-checking, thoughtful literary analysis, and creepy chills." Andrea and Leanna are also the co-authors of A HAUNTED HISTORY OF INVISIBLE WOMEN: TRUE STORIES OF AMERICA'S GHOSTS which was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Non-Fiction

With Republicans banning books nationwide, I'm grateful for local bookstores preserving underrepresented voices in literature.

The freedom to pursue boundless knowledge must remain just that: a freedom.

Thank you to @allshewrotebks.bsky.social in Somerville for letting me drop by.
Rep. Pressley is in the background in a black dress standing over a bookshelf of colorful books. In the foreground is a book about Jane Austen’s characters. Rep. Pressley, in a black dress and black tote bag, poses next to a woman in a black dress in front of the bookstore front door. The bookstore is called “All She Wrote Books.” Rep. Pressley, wearing a black dress, smiles as she checks out a book. A woman’s hand reaches out for her book across the check out counter. Behind them is the bookstore, filled with colorful art and books.
