Hey! It's midnight on the east coast, so it's release day. Thanks to @undertow.bsky.social for being such a fantastic publisher. Thanks to family, friends, and fellow writers for their support. The short fic grind has ups and downs, but it's a blast. Fricken love what we do. Thanks for reading.

6 months later, the story is here!

I wrote about weed, Jazz, the history of the war on drugs and 1920s NOLA’s role in it!

If you’re in NOLA, get the latest issue of @antigravitymag.bsky.social at a local business near you!

Web link will be posted later; this issue’s PDF will in the next post!

Thanks, Eryn. The happiest of New Years to you and everyone else on the chat.
I was grateful for this lovely call-out for my novella Phengaris. Now would be a good time to read it, because the story starts in the first melancholy days of January
