"Buried Treasure" in Dodo Eraser

I am honored by publication in the online journal Dodo Eraser today, the timing of which was a pleasant surprise on a Friday morning. "Buried Treasure" is a story about the day that comes for all of us pirates when we consider leaving our swashbuckling adventures behind. You can read it here if you have a chance: https://dodoeraser.org/2026/09/11/buried-treasure/. And be sure to browse some of the other prose and poetry while you're there. Some great stories in the recent archive, "The Sword Swallower" and "Tom Light's Ghost and Other Banjo Invocations" among my favorites.
