My March spread is actually ready on time this month ✅ I went with some slightly witchy vibes. All other habit tracking is off the table this month- book 3’s edit deadline is 3/19. I have ten chapters left and final details after family read. Wish me luck 💀

Readers of The Switchboard will recall that Kit wears a very specific hairpin attached to a length of Switchboard audio cable. With today’s package I am one step closer to making it real- even if it will hurt to cut the cable off this vintage headset!

If you buy a book from me you are funding the cat beds these fools ignore in favor of boxes and discarded rugs and wrapping paper, as well as these donut cave things they LOVE

On the eve of book 2’s release and the anniversary of his passing, I’m happy to celebrate Kit’s namesake: Joseph Kittinger 🪂 This man was a true aeronaut, with multiple records for skydiving and ballooning under his belt, but I ‘met’ him during the Red Bull Stratos project.

I gave myself permission to pause writing at 30k words.

Book 2 comes out on 10/10. Book 3 is in family read/major edits. Holidays are coming. I’m busting my butt to get our shop updated for Black Friday. I finally accepted that I loaded my plate too high.

But I’ll be back soon.

I never get over how small these numbers are. Look how easy it is to help out your favorite authors! (And your local bookstores!)
When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was:

1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one
2 preorders: we need to stock this book
3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out
4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display
More detail: When booksellers get pre-orders, it's a quantitative and qualitative signal that there is like *something here* about a book. The avalanche of new books out there is hard to communicate if you're not in the industry, and pre-orders are one of vanishingly few signals. It is a real thing!

Today I gave myself permission to not write, to get a little behind. In exchange I signed up for cover reveals and release lists. I did important insurance paperwork. It took a Monster and a little bit of despair before the caffeine kicked in, but I think I’ll write tomorrow after all.
