Top-notch On Fire and Under Water product placement, @richienarvaez.bsky.social. 😎
Fantastic episode of The Open Mic with Rich Ehisen, talking with Richie Narvaez about his excellent story in the anthology and all his superior works. Great conversation.

Thrilled by this review of On Fire and Under Water in KRL.
“[This anthology] might make you feel uncomfortable, but I suspect it was intended to.”
She’s right! This was an act of art speaking truth to power and rarely will that be comfortable.
