So I checked in with my Book Funnel after 2 months, and my email list had gone from 6 to over 100, so (yes, I know, #weirdflex) I decided I should really give this whole *newsletter* thing a go.
The problems I am facing are precisely the same that are slowing my book down. Namely, not enough time due to my day job, but also, and I can’t stress this enough, I have no clue what I am doing.
Since I can’t pump up my next release (or releases, like other professional authors), I’m going to go a different route. I’m going to share interesting things that I am reading, and stuff I am working on. This, like my writing-fu, shall be a work in progress.
ALSO: I want to share interesting things that YOU are reading or doing. Send me a message about a great book you’ve just read, or something else that other UF fans are likely to geek out about, and I’ll share it with my newsletter. BE SURE to sign the email the way you want your name to appear, otherwise, I’ll make it anonymous.
Don’t hesitate to hit me up with suggestions or complaints and the like.

Our Tragic Universe by Scarlett Thomas
Meg Carpenter is broke. Her novel is years overdue. So when a book called The Science of Living Forever lands on her desk, she jumps at the chance to review it, starting on a labyrinthine journey that takes her from mysterious beasts of the moor to forest fairies to ships-in-bottles, New Age theories of everything to physics to narrative theory, and forces her to ask: Does anyone really want to live forever? Our Tragic Universe finds connections where we didn t know they existed, breaks down conventions that keep us from our destinies, and shows how we just might be able to rewrite our futures.
From Back Cover
“Our Tragic Universe surprised me with where it goes, and in such a terrific way. Scarlett Thomas’s prose is so addictive you can’t help but fall deeper and deeper under her spell. How does she do it? She is a genius.”
