Like so many people during the pandemic, JR Charron’s commute is shorter than ever now that he’s working directly from home—although there’s an additional challenge at play in his case: his home office doubles as his music studio, and he’s entirely surrounded by distractions.

On March 15, Sarah Brandt of Niverville will be launching her first book, Blossom like Eden.
