And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

A history-loving writer gets more than she bargained for on a backcountry horse-packing trip. I fell in love with a ghost two decades ago. I saw her headstone on display at a ramshackle museum in Cody, Wyoming, on my first real trip out west. She’d died in 1897, at age 30—the same age I was at the time—and ran a bar in the waning days of the Wild West. Had she been drawn there by the lure of Western dime store novels and tales of outlaws, just like I’d been drawn to NYC by tales of CGBGs and punk bands? I felt an immediate kinship, and I think she did too because she’s never left my mind since. She’s so insistent that she’s become the central character of my working novel.
