Short Story: Blue
This story was a short fiction commission. More info can be found here.
Christina breathes in the spiced scent of growing herbs as she stares out into the star-streaked space beyond the glass. Her breath, caught by awe, reminds her where she is with startling clarity: leaving home in a metal pocket of air, with only the starry void ahead. Of course she’s been on ships before, but never anything long-haul. Not like this. Prepared for six months of life, the spaceliner she’s found herself residing in is massive—and even, she quickly discovered, fitted with a large communal garden filling a dome that faces out onto space.
She’s not alone in the garden. A robot, pale blue and asymmetrically almost-humanoid, crouches beside a green tomato plant nearby, an electronic humming floating from its vocalizer. The robot seems to notice her attention, though it doesn’t look up.

Tourist | Twelve
Content warnings for alcohol, suicide, allusions to sexual violence.
If there’s one person I never want to see when I wake, it’s Sam. So when I open my eyes to her sitting at an unfamiliar desk in an unfamiliar room, her back to me, my first reaction isn’t confusion. It’s a sudden exhaustion at the unfairness of the world to place me somewhere so obviously hers.
The room is a mess. Creased clothes tossed over every surface, at least three mugs on the desk, photos peeling from where they were stuck to the wall. Gaps like gaping holes where pictures have already fallen into the chaos of the room. What sticks out most of all is a jar filled with half-dead flowers beside Sam. There’s enough life in them still to justify keeping them, but I can’t help but feel that the room itself is pulling the flowers closer to death. The limp, purple blossoms lean away from Sam as if trying to escape her anger—her room’s atrophying presence.
Or maybe that’s just how things are when you’re organic. Flowers die. Sam loses Lissa. I continue existing.
Rogue Podron Mission 6 – 1: Robot-man, Robot-man, Does Whatever a Robot Can
All wings report in! This episode: X-wing: Iron Fist, chapters 1-3.
This week on Rogue Podron, we begin by discussing what we think is the deal with all that red sand in The Last Jedi trailer. Then, we begin IRON FIST, a fascinating Netflix series about one white, male’s struggle against oppression and…..no, I’m corrected. It’s actually the sixth book in the X-wing series. Pew pew!

Look At Me Talk About Things
Hey all!
I’ve been a little (a lot) absent from my site (and other places) for the past month and a half for a couple specific reasons: travel, health, and organizing podcast things. I went to Canada, USA, Wellington, Australia, and then came home to be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. It’s been an intense few weeks! But more on that stuff later.
For now, here are the recordings of the talks and panels I did while travelling and some little write-ups about the events I was lucky enough to experience. Travelling for a month and being accepted to speak at multiple events was a huge privilege, and though I’m paying for it now with my health, I wouldn’t have had April any other way.

Intermission: From the Plane Window
There’s a reason I like the window seat: sometimes I see some cool stuff. Flying over the States had some rad views—at least when the sky wasn’t filled with clouds.
This gallery is something a little different, just a tiny break between me flying to Sydney and sorting through the other hundreds of photos on my card. Be back to normal soon!

Rogue Podron 50th Episode Live from SWCO: Lod Have Mercy
All wings report in! This episode: Rogue Podron 50th Episode Extravaganza LIVE from Star Wars Celebration Orlando.
This week on Rogue Podron, we are live from the Rosen Centre in Orlando at Star Wars Celebration. We celebrate our 50th episode surrounded by friends (and even two fans!) reminiscing about the past 49 episodes, but mostly just laughing incoherently.
In this episode, we interviewed: Austin, Byn and Ash from Skyhoppers Podcast, Bria, Heather Antos, Tom, Nanci and Brian from Tosche Station, and Sho.
Special Thanks: We could not have recorded this special episode without Brian and Nanci from Tosche Station setting up a mini recording studio for us at the con – so THANKS!

Tourist Hiatus
Hi all! Tourist will be on a month long hiatus while I travel, and will return on the 5th of May for its final two chapters (+ epilogue)! In the meantime, I’ll try to update the site with a gallery or two from my travels. Hope you all have a great April, and look forward to Tourist’s conclusion in a month!
