jessica pixie
jessica pixie has been writing for as long as she can remember. Her first sci fi story was about a portal that opened up in her backyard and transported her to a random ocean. She never actually finished it. She was raised on Star Trek the Next Generation, The Dark Crystal, and other Science Fiction/Fantasy stories both in writing and film. These things defined her creatively and have always come into play during the creative process. This is the first time she has ever been published in a real way. In addition to writing, jessica is a visual artist. She has found recently that writing and creating art flow together and inform each other whenever she is working. website:jessicapixie.com (https://www.jessicapixie.com/shop) This podcast: Tales Unearthed (https://jessicapixietales.substack.com/podcast) Writing:tiny bat press (https://www.jessicapixie.com/about-5) Anyone still wanting a copy of the Stars and Gravity, Tea or Coffee anthology can head over to the air and nothingness press website (https://www.aanpress.com/) where you will also find many other treasures.

Leo Otherland
A literal goblin masquerading as human, LEO OTHERLAND is a queer member of the SFWA, weaver of delightfully soul-shattering speculative fiction, and lover of all things strange and unordinary. This elusive scribbler acquired his passion for weaving stories of dark and broken things through a childhood spent huddling in books and dodging the unfriendly spirits that resided in the haunted house they called home. Hidden somewhere unobtrusive in the arctic north woods of Wisconsin, Leo continually doodles several projects at once, while reading innumerable books and somehow keeping all the plotlines straight. During the few occasions it is not otherwise occupied, this f inicky, unrepentant otaku enjoys reading web comics, watching anime, and playing JRPGs. While it’s rare to catch this skittish wordsmith out in daylight, Leo can occasionally be located on his website, leootherland.com, or on various social media @LeoOtherland. And here is the sound of a black hole (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXhBLg3Wng).

Tea or Coffee, Stars and Gravity
Why hello, Welcome back to Tales Unearthed as it takes a side quest into outer space and beyond. For the next few episodes, you will be hearing from writers all around the world as they read us their science fiction short stories that have been accepted as a part of an anthology- Tea or Coffee, Stars and Gravity. I am one of those writers! To begin our launch, we are joined today by the guy who started it all- Todd Sanders of Air and Nothingness Press. A local author, graphic designer and creative located in Pittsburgh PA, Todd has been creating fascinating books that are art forms in themselves. It has been my intention for awhile to have him on my podcast, and now seemed like the perfect time as this book gets sent to the press and released into the world. I encourage you to check out Todds many magical projects- he always has something in the works that will surprise and enchant you.

Episode Four: So What if You're a Sad Girl
WARNING: This episode is about death and losing pets and people we love- if you are feeling extra senstive lately, save this for another time when you are ready. Join us as Lisa tells some stories about death. Yes, death. That thing we are all so very afraid of. And grief, something else we try to actively avoid. But on this day, we made some tea and DID NOT avoid it! We considered sadness in all its forms and in my view alchemized the experience. Because the only way we get to be here is by experiencing love, and the loss of who we love. A sacred contract with the universe that honestly sucks, but is the absolute soul of being alive. Lisa was such a delight to have on Tales Unearthed, her insights and raw honesty were an inspiration to all of us struggling with these same things. I hope you enjoy our conversation as well as Lisa’s beautiful photography linked below. If you should need someone to take photos, OR a delicious recipe (she also bakes!) Check her out!

Episode Two
What do you do when a fight breaks out in the nursing home? My friend Alejandro is here for episode 2 and brings a series of small stories- mini snapshots from life. The question here really is, if you feel stuck, what can you do in the meantime? What will the nursing home be like for our generation? And finally, how does a decade change a man? All this and more, on Tales Unearthed. Links to Alejandro’s work! Patreon-PianoPerfect (https://www.patreon.com/PianoPerfect) YouTube Video Lessons!
