Spy Sites of Washington, DC: A Guide to the Capital Region’s Secret History
by Robert Wallace and H. Keith Melton
Georgetown University Press
Movies, TV shows and books often take the backdrop of Washington, D.C., when plotting out their narrative of spies. But nothing can top the reality of what actually goes on in the Metro-D.C. area. Robert Wallace and H. Keith Melton take readers on a narrative tour of spy sites around the region, depicting the scenes of the sites and the background on each of the spies, starting in the late 1700s up until today. For all you know, you could be living at or walking along a well-used spy site right now. (February 2017)
Abundant Grace
Edited by Richard Peabody
Paycock Press
After editing seven volumes of local literature, Richard Peabody bows out with this last release under his helm. Abundant Grace, a collection of 45 essays from D.C. women authors, strikes a theme of what Peabody describes as “picking your battles, paying attention, phantasmagoria, spirit animals, and death/change.” (November 2016)
