From my next book, title and release date not yet announced.

Still an early draft that'll likely change, but there are no typos here. It's written in a hypothetical future dialect of English.

Teach, he curls his lips, faking smile. He gonna verbal, he got the eyes. When I back in cabin, C-dog gonna spark me til I glow purple, sure sure. Gonna sit in stink jail til recyc. Teach says, alast, “The builders of this place, our ansters, supplied all we need to complete the mission, or the info and skills to create it.”

My voice, it stronger now. “But the fires, the wars. Things got lost, forgot. We sure—”

He quiets me with a chop hand, like he slicing my arm at the elbow. “We ent any to worry about,” he says, louder, holding the smile a long sec.

The romance kicks in early and strong, which leads to a succession of spicy scenes and declarations of love but no real plot progress. The coming-out storyline brings the book back to life again - I wish this had occurred earlier, leading to more development later.

A grumpy/sunshine pairing, with both boys well drawn. They both identify as straight initially; the dawning is gradual and just about believable. The inevitable act 3 breakup doesn't ring entirely true.

A miss, for me. I muttered "this wouldn't happen" too many times. Claimed "can be read as standalone" but has many unresolved threads, such as the (interesting) side character with a development that's forgotten about, and the secret blogger.

Recorded one of my favourite scenes for the Unstable Orbits audiobook this morning, full of emotion and humour (it's the final scene of chapter 16, if you've read it).

It's got my favourite line of the book, which made me laugh/cry when I wrote it, in the middle of a god damn coffee shop.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

“Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.” Everything about this is so cursed. Masks off at the University of Oxford.

Curtis Yarvin & David Starkey - The End of the End of History
By Oakeshott (formerly Scruton)

The second Oakeshott Lecture of 2025 - with perennially viral tech philosopher Curtis Yarvin and eminent historian David Starkey

In the second Oakeshott (formerly Scruton) Lecture, Curtis Yarvin will address the End of the End of History in the Post-Cold War Era.

A former software developer, Curtis Yarvin came to international prominence under the pen-name Mencius Moldbug as a critic of contemporary democracy. An avid promoter of technocracy and critic of ‘the Cathedral’, Yarvin has become an influential figure on the American right - a reliably controversial voice and a confidante of JD Vance and Peter Thiel.

Following his lecture, Yarvin will debate the legendary British historian David Starkey on history and the future of conservatism.

Meanwhile, his werewolf crush Mateo might... like him?

Some cute characters here, and hints of backstory adding depth. The central mystery works well, the romance less so. Great title: I wonder if it came before the story?

The first of a regular-ish series in which I explain what I'm doing as an indie author/publisher, and how badly I'm doing it.
