The cover of The All-You-Can-Read Buffet by Stephen L. Thompson. There are four open books on a table, like one might find various dishes at a buffet.

My latest story is out in the world! Medical science fiction (yes, the title is a play on an early Prozac slogan). But also about #immigrant struggles and family drama. Enjoy!

This week, Anneke Schwob makes their Story Hour debut! Fantastic author and friend of Story Hour Jennifer Hudak returns. This will be extremely awesome! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 PDT! https://www.storyhour2020.com/ #Bookstodon #StoryHour2020 #ShortStories #ShortFiction #AuthorReading #FantasyFiction #ScienceFiction #SFF #AnnekeSchwob #JenniferHudak @jenniferhudakwrites

Waist-up color photo of writer Anneke Schwob, a fair-skinned person with brown hair worn short with bangs peeking out from beneath a red beanie. They also wear wire-rimmed glasses, a green-brown-and-white plaid flannel worn open over a black crew-neck tee, three chunky silver necklaces extending from Anneke’s collarbone height to height of estimated mid-sternum, and multiple earlobe piercings. They stand in a field of dry, yellowing grasses, their elbows bent as if their hands are in the pockets of their offscreen trousers. They are turned slightly away from the camera, looking into the lens with serious, steady expression that may hold a slight smile.

Head-and-shoulders color photo of writer Jennifer Hudak, a fair-skinned woman with straight, gray-threaded brown hair worn at shoulder length and without bangs. She wears a brownish-red top with crochet sleeves and poses before a blurred interior background that includes tile wall and light wood. Her shoulders are square to the camera, but she looks up and to one side, smiling warmly.
