"we mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us"
!!! THIS
It's important to write hand-written letters to your friends when you need to send them something. Ideally while doing a bit. Maybe you're a union soldier, separated from your ladylove. Maybe a hot air balloon operator.

We mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us.

a number of our 2025/26 titles are being released under pseudonyms. my prediction is that we'll see even more. are you reading 'new' authors? are you spotting a newby and taking a chance? your faves are still writing, they're just doing it safely. what a fun little bonus to find their work twice.
