Pull up a chair and sit a while…

Turtle Meat Mixtapes invites you to visit The Porch.

Stories, songs, Southern oddities, and something cold to drink.

I’m Gray.

I’m a Gen X writer and I believe almost every story deserves a mixtape.

At Turtle Meat Mixtapes, I write fiction, essays, and the occasional true thing disguised as something else. Then I build a soundtrack to go with it.

This year, I joined two writers on The Porch—who make me laugh, think, and want to write better.

Together, we’re the Southern Writers Guild.

My first little book, Opera Rose and Other Devotions, is waiting for you there—and for a few more weeks, you can read it free.
