maggie ancasa.reyn a day or so ago a friend who writes detective fiction posted on his blog about a disagreement he had with a friend about rules specifically that magic has to have rules detective fiction isn't really my thang but i like his thinking then aboout detective fiction and then mystery fiction i basically conflated the two in the space of a few seconds and in those few seconds my thoughts turned to maggie estep poet and mystery writer who has been dead for a little more than eleven years learning of her death is how i discovered her unlike andrea gibson whom i saw in the flesh seventeen years ago i am grateful for youtube and how it kindasorta keeps people alive after they're not every now and then i watch maggie perform the same poems that were there on youtube before she died and i can't help but crush on her all over again every time because jaysus what a gift she was 250731 what's it to you? who go blather from
