In pre-pandemic times, Steven Weinstein was like hundreds of thousands of other Washington-area commuters. Every weekday, he went from his home in Centreville, Virginia, to his office at 16th and L streets in downtown D.C. He left the office a few times during the day for a cup of coffee or lunch.
All that ended last March, when the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered most offices and left Weinstein to work from home. His company offered workers the chance to come back in the summer; not many did. By the end of the year, he says, the company decided not to renew its lease.

The question itself sounds like it could be the opening premise for a mystery novel, but for Neil Albert, of Ephrata, the answers are simpler.
In 1996, after finishing âTangled June,â the sixth novel in his Dave Garrett mystery series, Albert thought heâd reached a logical conclusion to the story. Heâd been working at a rapid pace â writing a book nearly every year since 1989, while working full time as a lawyer.
âI thought it had come to an end,â Albert says. âAny ideas for going further seemed like soap opera-type complications, and I respected the series too much to do that.â
