Sensationally Contemporary ! Lovin it !

Your ‘Topicality’ of your work ain’t exactly my ‘cup of tea’ - yet the ‘spirit’ & perspective ‘slays’ ..

I'm inspired, thank you, Samuel. You may just have tipped the scales for me to the self-publishing side. I'm also happy to hear you feel Substack is "still a fundamentally enriching space."

Great seeing your words here Samuèl and I am filled with gratitude for you and your beautiful book. I have been taking some breaks away from the screen myself so my inbox is full and I am unlikely to get to it all but that is ok. I have been working in my yard and walking my dog and reading good books.

I love the fact you could envision an independent process for your book and make it work. It turned out marvelous and didn't require the evil gods of Amazon self-publishing to make it happen. I also really enjoyed the discussion between you and Joshua. I listened to it while walking my dog the other day. Keeping my fingers crossed for an opportunity to meet and chat about life one of these days.

Living the writer’s life, indeed. You’ve reconfirmed both my plans for future “independent” publishing (love this term) *and* the value of in-person connections. Très bien!

You had me at metamodern consumptive trends. I'm also a writer who left the land of "have you been on Orpah"? (When being on Oprah was a thing) for life in the south of France. Bravo on your decision to launch Kingdom Anywhere. I'm inspired!

Happy to have found you. Happy to have The Requisitions winging its way toward me.
