Getting everything ready for the Portland Indie Book & Art Fair (PIBAF) hosted by Buckman Journal at Honey Latte Cafe on June 27, 2026. I just unboxed a new acrylic book display, picked up fresh postcards, and even ordered a nifty dual-purpose header to top it all off. Come join the fun.

🌹🌹🌹 “Some houses keep their secrets longer than the people who lived in them.” William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily” endures as a quiet Southern ghost story—of memory, decay, and the woman a whole town thought it understood. Celebrate Short Story Month with us—one chapbook at a time.
