Feeling stuck? Uninspired? Unsure where to begin? Best selling author Steve Almond returns this May with a brand new generative series to get you going (topics include secrets & lies, friendship, sex without shame, rage on the page) YES, PLEASE: writingco-lab.com/classes/almond…

Here’s the first few pages of my work in the anthology SMASHING THE TABLETS. It’s actually an excerpt from my novel in progress. A literary sci-fi retelling of post-Eden that explores my Theory of Efes. Thanks to sara lippmann & Seth Rogoff for reaching out & including me 💜
