Episode 92: My Story Huitzilin by Tomas Baiza

Tomas Baiza is the author of the novel, Delivery: A Pocho’s Accidental Guide to College, Love, and Pizza Delivery (Running Wild Press, 2023), and the collection A Purpose to Our Savagery (RIZE Press, 2023). Tomás’s work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, the Best of the Net, and Best American Short Stories anthologies and has appeared in various print and online anthologies and journals. Tomás has fenced in Italy, been rescued by helicopter from the Sierra Nevada, fended off wild dogs while hitchhiking in rural Morelos, México, and once delivered pizzas to a Klingon-themed orgy at a sci-fi convention. When he is not writing, Tomás is running trails, obsessing over bonsai trees, and playing guitar way too loud.
