\"\"<\/a>Hey there<\/strong>\u2014hope you’re having some summer fun.<\/p>\n

For summer reading you might want to check out two recent publications by Kathleen Kirk<\/strong>.\u00a0 She has a poem \u201cWe, the Impressionable\u201d<\/strong> in One<\/a>, <\/strong><\/em>which is a project by\u00a0 by <\/strong>Jacara Press<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, “a community active press.”<\/p>\n

Also she has \u201cLaundering Instructions\u201d<\/strong> in Right Hand Pointing<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, a digital publication featuring “Short, poetry, short fiction and short art” for the past ten years.<\/p>\n

Patty Somlo<\/strong> has a story \u201cThe Moment I Parted the Curtains\u201d<\/strong> in <\/a>Mused<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, BellaOnline Literary Review<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed a profile<\/a> of writer Scott Turow<\/strong> written by Robert Elder<\/strong>.\u00a0 Scott Turow’s Presumed Innocent <\/em><\/strong>was all the rage when it came out; everyone was reading it. His Kindle County rang true for Chicagoans. His latest book Identical <\/strong><\/em>probably will be too since it recounts a case similar to the mystery of the murder of Valerie Percy, which occurred in 1966 here in the Chicago area (in Kenilworth) and is still unsolved. It’s a quote by Scott Turow<\/strong> that is the latest addition to Slice of Solace<\/strong>.<\/a> (Just as an aside, I like it when Scott Turow mentions his mother Rita Turow<\/strong>. I got to know Rita Turow through The Writers; she was always so proud of him.)<\/p>\n

Do you like cozy mysteries? You might want to check out the eight books in the Jane Wheel <\/strong>series by Sharon Fiffer.<\/strong><\/a> Plus she and her husband Steve Fiffer<\/strong> have produced several books together. They teach workshops too. When Sharon posted “Losing and Finding,” I immediately saw how great a fit it would be as a Guest Post<\/strong><\/a> for this space. Thanks so much to Sharon for letting me share it with you.<\/p>\n

This past week I was fortunate enough to do something touristy. I went on a Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Boat Tour <\/strong><\/a>down the Chicago River. So great! But I won’t bore you with all my pictures, just a few comprise Glimpse of Solace<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ta for now. Go have some fun!<\/p>\n

Peace, love, and solace<\/p>\n
