A Bildungsroman BildungsEssen

I have new fiction in the world today! My latest short story “An Invitation from the BildungsEssen Restaurant Group” is live at the wonderful Sunday Morning Transport! It is subscribers only, but you can check out two months free with this link. Many thanks to Fran Wilde, Curtis Chen, and Eric Brooks for their feedback on this one.

It was the shortest story inception to publication yet, though
