Many thanks to Hidden Peak Press for publishing "The Fourth Shed"! This is the kind of story I seem to write when writing most purely for myself: a little bit noir, a little trippy, and mostly set in a San Francisco dive bar. Pour yourself a fernet and enjoy!

The woman blinked heavily. "I knew your dad," she said. ​ Miri stared into the strange pupils. "I didn't." She said it quietly, but with all the force that time and cigarettes could give her. Read the rest of "The Fourth Shed" in Hidden Peak Press! hiddenpeakpress.com/2025/01/20/bry…

The new design of The Pixelated Shroud's (@only_fangsXXX) website is on point. Exactly the right vibe for my epic poem "Pittsburg, California," which I'm very excited to say is live now - pixelatedshroud.wordpress.com/2025/05/30/pit…

Thanks for putting this one up, @only_fangsXXX. I'm excited to have it out. If you're familiar with the East Bay - or the yellow BART line - or even if you're not - check out "Pittsburg, California." It's about 700 lines long and references historical events. AKA it's hella good.
