Got my copy of Marco Melfi’s “Routine Maintenance” from @audreysbooksyeg.bsky.social so I can get it signed at our reading!

Tonight at 7 PM at Rooster on Whyte!

I’ll bring the macabre vibes and Marco will bring insightful observations rooted in the everyday!

Marco Melfi’s book “Routine Maintenance” has a light brown cover with an illustration of a grey wrench stretching across the front. The book sits front and centre on a wooden bookshelf inside a bookstore with shelves filled with more books to the sides and in the background. The plaque above the shelf reads “Local Authors.”
