An odd little corner of the Epstein story alleges a touring band was used to traffic girls in the 80s. If one band did it, you can bet others were enlisted. savingcountrymusic.com/cowpu…

American treasures @NealFAllen and @AnneLamott are writers I love and trust. They make the world feel more intelligible and more humane. Here, they do that for the craft of writing itself. Check it out!
And just thank you Anne and Neal for always reminding us that clarity and kindness are still worthy aspirations!

My current husband @NealFAllen and I have written a book on writing for everyone who has been writing for a while, or wants to start writing a novel or memoir or anything at all. You can buy it at your local bookstore on March 17 but can pre-order at: goodwriting.app/the-book
