Hello, true believers! Welcome to whatever this year is. I’m told it’s 2026 but that can’t be right. [Archival edit: the emailed version of this newsletter erroneously stated I would be releasing two books this year but Love and Lake Monsters has been pushed to 2027. Sorry for the mistake, honestly thought I’d updated that.]

A Lady for All Seasons is right around the corner (March 10, have you preordered? no pressure) but Love and Lake Monsters won’t grace the shelves for a bit. I just turned the book in to my editor last month. Now we get to the editing portion of the show.

In the meantime, I thought you’d enjoy these notes between me and my agent during many, many drafts.
