Pink Umbrellas Love Rainydaze: Grungy Short Stories From Seattle, Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798287407476)

It's a surf punk beach read! Dive into Seattle's "Grunge Alley" where dozens of live music venues occupy the downtown corridor during the 1990s. Seattle's diverse arts and entertainment community is woven into semi-fictitious stories where real-life LGBTQ+ heroes coexist with composites of famous punks and poets.
Charles R. Cross, Editor in Chief of The Rocket magazine, edited Pink Umbrellas Love Rainydaze until his sudden passing in 2024. His enthusiasm for the project follows in a direct quote from his copy editing comments:

You've done a good job of capturing the time and era, and the loose-ness of it all, and madness ... I think you've got something really good here, but you need more female voices, your voice, perspective, and what you bring to the story that isn't told elsewhere ... with the third chapter (The Vogue) there's some great writing there and story, and the gay bashing stuff is really important (to speak on) ... Keep going and give us more of your unique voice! Cheers, c.
