We are BACK from our Technical-Difficulty-Induced hiatus and, man, does it feel good! Today, Auriane shares her new, fiction story, Sirens, a Tennessee tale about addiction, recovery, hillbilly makeovers, pristine interior design, and potential drowning. Since today's fiction format is a little longer than our usual tale, we're skipping the after party, but don't worry! We'll be back with 2 guests on our next episode, and we're sure to have a bigger (and boozier) after party then.  Are you interested in telling a totally unpretentious story here, on the Not Literary Podcast? Email us at NotLiterary@gmail.com and pitch it to us. Tell us a little about you, and a little about the story you want to tell, and whatever format of storytelling you'd like to use.  As usual, you can find Auriane at Aurianederudder.com or on Instagram @aurianederudder. Want to support the pod? Our venmo is @NotLiterary, or just go buy Auriane's books. Thanks for listening!
