The Alignments
I hope you’re all having a good day. I went out to brunch and had a celebratory waffle because as of this morning, The Alignments is available to all!

I want to thank everyone who helped me out on this–there’s a ton of people listed in the Acknowledgments section–and everyone who has voiced support over the last year. It means a lot to hear that my writing has made you happy, or made you think, or that you were so moved you got a friend to read the book too. Special thanks to Eliot, who was not just line/copy editor but developmental editor as well.
For a bunch of reasons, including that this is a novella, so the spine is pretty thin and won’t match the other books, and because I wanted to publish a collection of all the shorter stuff down the line, I hadn’t been planning to do a print version. However, a bunch of my family members are very ride-or-die with print, so here is the deal: I am planning to do a small print run of novellas. I don’t quite know what the costs will be yet–probably about $8-10 if I have to ship them, maybe less if you find me at an event. If you are really excited about this prospect, let me know and I’ll make sure to count you when I figure out how many to order.
Finally, at the Big Gay Market yesterday, in addition to meeting some really cool people (including friends of a friend, which is always awesome), I found out that at least two bookstores in the Madison area are carrying my stuff–Garden Wall Bookshop in Verona and Lake City Books downtown on the Square. So if you’re in the area and want to support a local bookstore with your purchase, you should check those places out!
Happy Solstice/Happy Yalda, Happy (last night of) Hanukkah, Happy Birthday to my (several) relatives who have birthdays between now and Christmas, Happy Christmas, and Happy Boxing Day to those who celebrate! I’ll be back with more updates, including some January events (hint: I’m going back to a Well-Red Damsel thing!) and info about Renaissance just after New Years. (Happy New Years, too.)
