  @queerscifi I have something for #M3 and it's big! Starting January 1st, 2027 on my blog. “Sidetracked,” a science-fiction/adventure/Young Adult serial novel with a closeted Bi protagonist will be posted in weekly installments every Friday. Written by me, Mike Mayak (a.k.a. Jeff Baker!) This will be posted on the “Friday Flash Fics” pages, temporarily replacing the weekly stories. https://authorjeffbaker.com/2026/10/11/sidetracked-serial-novel-starting-here-january-1st-2027/
