The state regularly reminds Thomm not to rape children, in case he has forgotten. This is good, since he was a teenage gigolo and it may have warped him beyond cleaning urine out of a bubble machine. Amber gets pepper-sprayed. Our special guest Kristina makes it hard for you to navigate your grocery store. Listeners, there is never anything in the back of the store. Library patrons ask for institutional racism to save them from walking. Amber is apparently not a Craigslist prostitute. There are too many stories about gastric distress while according to the whims of employers.

Show Notes:


Thomm Quackenbush is an author and teacher in the Hudson Valley. He has published four novels in his Night's Dream series (We Shadows, Danse Macabre, Artificial Gods, and Flies to Wanton Boys). He has sold jewelry in Victorian England, confused children as a mad scientist, filed away more books than anyone has ever read, and tried to inspire the learning disabled and gifted. He is capable of crossing one eye, raising one eyebrow, and once accidentally groped a ghost. When not writing, he can be found biking, hiking the Adirondacks, grazing on snacks at art openings, and keeping a straight face when listening to people tell him they are in touch with 164 species of interstellar beings.
