My book draft is currently with the editors. While I wait, here are a couple of random* snippets to give you a sense of the vibe! They may or may not survive the edit process. Enjoy! #HowToBuildAUniverse

*I used a random number generator to choose pages, then chose one sentence from each page
🎉 Update from me: I've just sent my editor the first draft of my second book, "How to Build a Universe"! ⚛️ ➡️ 🌌

It's probably still about a year from publication, but even just getting this draft together has been a journey. Really looking forward to sharing more with you! #HowToBuildAUniverse
