Had a good Serendib Press meeting with Stephanie Bailey this morning — I was so hectic this past semester that everything got really disorganized. This summer is hopefully going to be a time to organize things and put them out in a more coherent way going forward. There’s a lot potentially going on: 1) Books …
I think I forgot to mention that Kevin caught COVID over the holidays (first time in our family, four days of giant family gatherings were just too much for him) — he was symptomatic and tested positive on the 28th, so he’s now on day 7. Mild symptoms — mostly some fatigue with a bit …
I’m not sure why I thought having the last of the Kickstarter orders, the Shopify orders that have come in recently, the Patreon orders, AND all the flash sale orders get packed and shipped this week was a good idea, but apparently I thought it would be efficient or something?

I’m planning to try several more layouts, so don’t get too attached to anything. Feedback is welcome, but maybe no need to fine-tune yet.
Working with Emmanuel Henderson today on the cover of Silence and the Word — a book of mine from quite some time ago, that will now be available as an ebook, woot! The plan is to try releasing it on Kindle Unlimited, which is new for me — would love to hear anything about the …
Okay, so here are the holiday book recommendations, whether you pick them up at my house this afternoon, or online: – A Feast of Serendib: great for the foodie in your life, esp. if you add in some homemade Sri Lankan curry powder; I also have tea towels, if you want more of a package …
