My soft sci-fi novella, THE LEGEND LIMINAL, is out today from @starsandsabers.bsky.social! 💫

Climb into the camper van for a surreal roadtrip that slides out of time & reality. TLL is a story about grief, hope, and the shining lifeline of human connection.

Ren holds up a copy of The Legend Liminal, with an empty desert highway in the background. The cover of the book features a camper van driving on a road shaped like an infinity symbol, in front of a vaporwave-style sunset.
