My review of ABSENCE by Issa Quincy from @twodollarradio.bsky.social is out at Full Stop! www.full-stop.net/2025/09/17/r...
Absence — Issa Quincy
How does one write a novel about things that are not there? About the missing, the lost, the absent? Or is this the only kind of writing there is?

For William Powell's birthday, I wrote a short piece about how he had chemistry with everyone, including inanimate objects. I think this came from being aware of his surroundings and also *interested* in whatever was around him. He was ALERT. More: www.sheilaomalley.com?p=196579
