A reminder that if you want more non-fiction work like this from me, the only real way to make it happen & get it breathing room among my fiction contracts is to become a paid subscriber to either Patreon or Substack.

The content differs on each month to month, but especially political stuff is a lot of anger & work to find space for. Just saying.
