    Episode 4 - "The Mummy in KV 111"
    May 7 2026
    Hello fellow Mortals!

    In this episode, I read-aloud a short story about an archeological team who excavates a pharaoh's tomb and finds startling discoveries. Told from the point of view of Jen, a junior archeologist, and the pharaoh himself.

    This piece is intended to be read through a philosophical lens more than a historical one. But I hope that the latter is not found wanting.

    Episode 3 - "Body at the Beach"
    Oct 28 2025
    Hello fellow mortals!

    In this episode I read aloud a flash fiction piece I wrote for Band of Bards The Dark Side of Purity Vol. 3 E-zine, called "Body at the Beach". It was published in 2021 and was part of an exclusive publication for Kickstarter backers for their phyiscal volumes of The Dark Side of Purity Vols 1 & 2.

    I hope this story sparks discussion around the dangers of purity culture, for both women and men. I hope you enjoy!

    Episode 2 - "Bay of Blood"
    Sep 30 2025
    Hello fellow Mortals!

    In this episode, I read-aloud my short story called "Bay of Blood". This story reimagines the historical naval battle of Salamis in 480 BCE from Queen Artemisia's perspective.

    The battle of Salamis was a naval battle that took place in 480 BCE between the free Greeks and Persia and is considered one of the most crucial battles in history. I've added a fantastical twist that, of course, includes the Greek gods.
