Drinking with Strangers – New Fiction

And… drum roll… here it is: Drinking With Strangers New Fiction just published by the lovely folks at Suburban Witchcraft. Drinking With Strangers is a retelling of Rip Van Winkle. Ripley Walker wakes up with a massive hangover. He is in a strange room, a strange bed, covered with a nasty Avengers blanket. He is also twenty years in the future, smack in the middle of a steampunk dystopia.
