Hello, social primates! I have many bases to cover today, so let's get to it.

First and foremost, today is the launch of The Vela, a new Serial Box series co-written by yours truly, Yoon Ha Lee, S.L. Huang, and Rivers Solomon. Hooray! A preview of the first episode (written by S.L. Huang) can be read right here; if you're keen to read more (I'm up to bat next, in episode 2), you can subscribe for the whole shebang. And if you're new to Serial Box, here's how it all works.

On the solo front, if you've been holding out for the UK paperback edition of Record of a Spaceborn Few, your watch has ended! That'll be on shelves tomorrow, March 7.

In further Spaceborn Few news, I'm very very happy to announce that it's made the Kitschies shortlist! It's up for the Red Tentacle (Best Novel), an honor Ghuh'loloan would undoubtedly approve of (though she might question the color).

Back on my side of the pond, I'm delighted to be joining FOGcon this weekend (March 8-10) as a Guest of Honor. I've got a bunch of great panels lined up, as well as a reading. If you're in the SF Bay Area, I hope I'll see you there!

There's lots more stuff that I'm super excited about waiting in the wings, but its time will come. For now, I wish you a happy Wednesday.

All the best,

Becky
