We're kind of jealous of Mark Salzwedel. He's an incredible writer, a composer, an artist who grew up with an artistic childhood, and much more. As our first spotlight of 2025, he's the writer of a lovely little short sci-fi piece titled An Unexpected Cookie, of which you can hear him read an excerpt in this episode.

Follow Mark in all the places and keep an eye out for his upcoming book, Time Bump.
