July 1, 2026 — Book Time Approacheth

We’re finally in the long-awaited tunnel to people buying and reading our book. It seems like forever, yet the book also strikes us as more relevant than ever. As with most things set into motion, the path has contained some surprises. One was that the initial publication date (July 21st) was pushed back to August 4th due to supply chain issues. However, three book signings had already been scheduled, so the publisher has arranged for books to be available early at these pre-publication signings: Porter Square Books in Cambridge, July 21st — more information/RSVP Jabberwocky Books in Newburyport, July 24th — more information/RSVP Northshire Books in Manchester, VT, July 25th — more information/RSVP This week, we discuss having a “platform” for the book, recording podcast interviews, drafting potential op-eds, dealing with reviews and early feedback, and some fun experiences we’ve already had. We also discuss a mental challenge that sneaked up on us — so much time has passed and so much has changed since we put pens down, we have to become comfortable about talking about the book as if it’s a new thing, when for us it’s more than a year or two old. We also share our “Discoveries of the Week.” Link to Kent’s discovery about frogs. PNAS paper discussed.
