Anyone interested in queer Midwest literature? Over the next few months, I'll be posting my work free to read here: arwelch.substack.com

As an indie author, exposure is my greatest challenge, so if you enjoy my stories, please share them.

P.S. Buy me a coffee!

Happy Pride!

I'm trying a newsletter/blog now. The first post is about the day my husband and I adopted our greyhound, Nora. Find it at arwelch.substack.com

Been a minute. Currently stuck in editing. Here’s a shot of Ursa Minor, representative of Riley in Loss, Lakes, & Love

Still giving my manuscript a few more weeks to rest. Here’s a sunset in the meantime…

Am I losing it? Don’t know how I managed the perfect stopping place.

Orion at twilight.

Sometimes it’s better to walk the dog late.

Stone Arch Bridge captivated me since I first crossed. Especially each golden hour. Yet, sorrow is cemented in those stones.

Riley's story isn't mine, but it's a mirror. Life is complex, full of monotony, grief, but also joy. Loss, Lakes, & Love celebrates those struggles.

If you'd like an ARC, DM

Loss, Lakes, & Love is a gay romance set in Minneapolis that delves into the realm of literary fiction by exploring depression and anxiety. Now more than ever, I feel sharing these experiences is necessary.
