It is always wild when rewriting an older story, especially when adapting it to be an audio-drama. I’m working on my story, Zodiac Empire, which I wrote ages ago and ouf… like I can see what I was trying to say but really really didn’t. This will be a fun one to record/direct, though! ♈

Also!

There are now signed copies at Broadway Books as well! With pretty good doodles!

If you want to get your sea legs on mutual aid, one thing you can do is throw a 24 pack of water and some individually packaged nonperishable snacks in your trunk and just keep your eyes open.

Hi! I have a newsletter. It's free and comes out once a week, not always on the same day.

I write pop culture criticism, queer rants, memoir, and interviews with interesting people. It's not the same thing each week, but it's usually something pretty compelling.

I have been so terrible at posting anywhere on socials. How's everyone doing, right now? Despite, you know, fucking everything??
Even though posting new episodes on SoSF has been erratic, I promise more is coming. In the meantime, I'd love to hear what y'all have been up to and working on!
