Sheriff Sam Winslow hoped for a quiet Sunday night at work. That changed when a call came in about a missing boy on Black Bear Mountain. After finding the missing boy, they also discover a dead body at the bottom of a nearby cliff. Things become more complicated when it’s revealed the boy, and his friends have kept a secret that possibly puts them in danger.

No DRS Chapter Meeting on July 12

Because many of our members will be taking part in Imaginarium on July 18-20, we decided, as in previous years, to cancel the chapter meeting for July. We will meet again August 9, details will be posted closer to that event.

Lynn Slaughter

Lynn will be participating in Voice & Vision: Presented by Spalding University’s Naslund-Mann Graduate School of Writing, The Louisville Review & 21c Museum Hotel will feature five fantastic writers for the July edition of the popular annual summer reading series. The program will take place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. at 21c Museum Hotel, 700 West Main St., in downtown Louisville.

The July program features writers Sarah Gorham, Lynn Slaughter, Jeffrey Skinner, Richard Taylor and Sonja Wilde-de Vries. Hosted by Flora K. Schildknecht. The evening begins with an art talk from 21c Lexington’s Museum Manager Ashley Rowland on the museum’s current exhibition The SuperNatural 2.0,  exploring the transformation from the post-industrial world into the bytes and pixels of the digital age.

This year marks the twelfth season for this fabulous and fun series which celebrates the interrelatedness of the area’s vibrant literary and visual arts community. Complimentary light snacks and beverages will be provided. We hope you’ll join us for this free, ticketless event.

Ken McCormick speaks about all aspects of book cover design. How to do it yourself. How to work with an artist. And for those just starting a writing project, what to keep in mind for that cover you will need in the future.

Ken McCormick is an art director and brand architect for the organic foods and agroecology movement. His portfolio includes the design of consumer package goods, magazines, books, exhibitions and direct mail programs. Forty years ago, he took on the role of the public voice of the original Greenpeace office and began creating context-rich imagery that forges physical and spiritual links between humanity and this amazing planet we live on. Over a 30 year career, he designed the packaging and marketing for many of Nature’s Path Foods popular brands. And today, he’s semi-retired, primarily working on his own art exhibitions for museums and art galleries in Louisville, Kentucky.
