There is also something deeply comforting about the cultural shorthand Spencer-Fleming uses. References to PBS, public radio–adjacent sensibilities, and a certain late-20th-century, educated-Northeast worldview made me feel instantly at home. It is clear the author lives in or very near my cultural zeitgeist, and those small, knowing touches add a layer of authenticity that is easy to underestimate and hard to fake.There is also something deeply comforting about the cultural shorthand Spencer-Fleming uses.

Re: Not writing much–
It’s not EQ, it’s more just that I don’t feel like I have anything to write about lately. I can only gripe about work so much before it starts to get old, tiresome, and boring–you know, the point where people start saying, “At least you HAVE a job!” Plus, with the whole business thing…busy.
I’m hoping to get back into it. I’m driving up to Seattle in a few weeks, going up along 1/101 on the coast, so hopefully there’ll be a sort of travelogue that’ll get me interested and feeling like I have more to write about than just being generally cranky.
