When the Virus Came Calling is a ground-breaking anthology, edited by Dr. Thelma Reyna, of distinguished American writers, written during the first half of the historic, devastating COVID-19 invasion of America in 2020. In heart-wrenching observations and reflections, these authors  document the horrors, grief, and heroism of friends, family,  and neighbors as the disease unfolded. There are moments  of hope and togetherness as well, seeking respite and balms. This collection is a treasure and will be a  touchstone for generations to come.

Editor Dr. Thelma Reyna is a multiple award-winning author, editor, and Poet Laureate Emerita.
