ANNOUNCEMENT: BOOK COVER!!!

Also: What Manner of Man is now available for preorder!

(Your regularly-scheduled chapter update should arrive around 10 A.M. EST.)

It’s finally time! It is with intense pride and overwhelming self-satisfaction that I present to you the gorgeous, sexy, amazing cover art for What Manner of Man:

Clapping, cheering, throwing confetti, etc.

There they are! 😭 Do you know what it’s like to have a couple of characters living in your head for years only to finally have them beautifully rendered in full colour pink like this? It’s so much better than I even dared to hope. My beloved artist and editor did such a phenomenal job.

ALSO: PREORDERS ARE LIVE!

You can officially preorder the final edition of What Manner of Man on Amazon! 🥳 (Other storefronts to follow soon.)

I'm so excited to finally share with you the result of all my work of this last year. This — the e-book that’s about to be published — is a little over sixteen-thousand words longer (despite cutting multiple entire chapters during editing!) than the draft of the novel represented by this newsletter. In all ways, the final version of What Manner of Man goes further than anything you’ve read here or on Patreon, and I’m insufferably proud of it.

(Lord Vane’s little earring!)

I’m at a loss for words to express my gratitude for all the enthusiasm people have expressed about the upcoming completion of this project — the product of two years of virtually all of my free time. Thank you so much for all of your kind words, silly posts, fanart, and everything else — your energy has powered me lo these two long years (in a horrifying, Frankenstein's monster kind of way.)

All of you have far more power than I do. If you love What Manner of Man and want me to write more books, please make a little noise about it! Crawling to you on my hands and knees right now. Please — share this book with someone. I know you might think you’re just some guy, but if even a fraction of the over five thousand readers of this newsletter shared it with one friend, it would have an indescribably greater effect than anything I’m remotely capable of on my own.

I don’t know how to end this e-mail. Thank you again. Tell everyone you know to preorder my book!
