I have been savoring Donna Vorreyer’s Unrivered (Sundress Publications, 2025). Took her with me to Bela for one of their last evenings open. Here she is in candle glow with ginger lemon tea and holiday lights, and yes, she was accompanied by cake.🍰 📖 @sundresspub.bsky.social @djvorreyer.bsky.social
