Sion Jones - December 2022 Newsletter

Welcome to the last month of the calendar year and the gateway to 2023!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving for my US readers that reflected gratefulness, family (if you can stand them), and community (provided they are not trying to guilt trip you).

There was much for me to be grateful and appreciative for, and I celebrated by blatantly ignoring most of the press about the holiday. It is nonsensical to accept blame for events I had nothing to do with.

I also put forth my best effort to ignore the Presidential Turkey Pardon. Until Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are pardoned, I don't give a flying flarg what else they pardon.

NaNoWriMo is pretty much wrapped up. There is still much clean-up and editing to complete, but Remember Me, Anteros should be available the first week of February 2023. As usual, it will have tons of series spoilers that nobody will realize are spoilers until they read the series, both Jakub Riser and the Veil.

As for the library letter I mentioned a few months ago, I am pleased to tell you that we won, but I don't have the full information on what that actually means yet. Here is the latest news release from Fight For The Future on that:

Signed by a vast and diverse list of authors, the letter decries conduct from major publishers and trade associations, including their lawsuit against the Internet Archive, demanding that they cease efforts to undermine the essential contributions of libraries to an accessible and inclusive world of…

It is my hope that the month is good for you, and that those who celebrate have a delightful holiday season.

The beginning of 2023 will hopefully bring more regular content as I plan to amp up my production and make your subscription worth your time. If you haven't yet, feel free to subscribe to get these articles as they are released.

How this works is pretty simple. I despise paywalls. But the subscription is a free version of a paywall, and as I am attached to an independent publisher, your sub makes things a little better for us and you.

We also plan to make it worth your while in the future. If you purchase books and such, you will get more than if you buy from outside outlets, so keep that in mind. There will be more on that in the coming months.

Until then, have a wonderful month, and we will see you again in the New Year!
