Zine Fest Houston is scheduled for November 11 at the Lawndale Art Center, and I have received confirmation that I will have a table there! I participated last year too, and it was incredibly fun.

Links Loudly Dancing (a collection of autobiographical mico-essays about avoidant personality disorder and adventures in mental healthcare) Robbie … More Zine Shop Restocked!
