If you’re looking for something to read this weekend, I’ve published 13 short pieces this year with 2 more coming soon. I figured I’d make a thread of just a few of my faves that are free-to-read. (You can still find my complete eligibility post through my link in bio) 🧵

URGENT! Baron Quits the Payloaders!
My new short story is out at @escapepod.org! 🎸👨🚀⚡
It's my tribute to heavy music and how inspiring it is for me. It's a found family piece about overcoming grief, finding new meanings in life, and dealing with predatory companies.
