This book is now out! I got the proof and now it's clean and beautiful and available for your reading pleasure. Or reading whatever you may experience. Tension? Anxiety? Hope and fear? It's all good, though. Read Summerlands  first, because this picks up two years later and follows those characters finally resolving the huge things left hanging at the end. But also read  The Esker Road , because those characters are important here. And many people from  The Nerve  and the three Thrushcross books play a role. You need to read all the books! In order! Get going!

Hey! Go visit my new site, Emma Burns Writes Books .  I write the books. Every day I write the books. Books! Look. I am all about the books. I am here because I write the books. I would LOVE if you would read them and talk to me about them. They are a good time, these books. Well, you're going to read them and go "gaaaaaah don't do that oh no what are you doing nooo stop!" only you probably use punctuation even in your head. Even I feel that way when I read them. "Oh no!

The old feed of the podcast is still up on Apple Podcasts (not sure for how long, also it's possible I downloaded the episodes) but you'll need to go to the NEW feed to get recent and future episodes. Go to search. Search for Sacred Cheese of Life. Pick the new one that has episode 47 A Rose for Emily. Follow! Hurray! I myself was baffled by this today, but shouldn't have been, in retrospect. It's a different rss feed. The new feed is: https://media.rss.com/sacred-cheese-of-life/feed.xml It will be included in many other podcatchers and venues going forward, but I don't use them so I'm not sure when they'll be live. Search for it on your favorite podcatcher! If there's one you want it added to, let me know. Except Pandora/Sirius because their contract was evil. A world of nope. Good times! Sacred cheese of life and whatnot!
