This week’s free-to-read newsletter is a little late, because I’ve been finishing my next novel: my Thucydides-in-space reflection on war, nationalism, and the struggle for better human thriving. It’s almost ready for my beta reader, and then it’ll be off to my agent!

But today, it seemed relevant to talk about the challenge of writing fiction in our deeply hurting world. What's the work we’re really doing, when we tell stories in such hard times?
