I write about finding your newsletter in the Spokane chapter. I'd send you a copy if you'd like, DM or email me.

Thanks @kathyfish.bsky.social ! The morning after going through Glacier National Park, I got your newsletter on Frisson. It so perfectly fit the experience and the whole trip and book was moments like that where I was lucky to read things matching what I was unraveling.

It was pretty awesome finding it again in that newsletter that morning of my vacation. Almost like a pizza night escape/visit from Wisconsin writer retreat.

You found it! Left it there as a surprise. Thanks for reading and sharing it Pat!

Tilt is the perfect example for literary frisson.
