I spoke with Lee, Eva’s father, maybe an hour ago, and he said the family wants us to move forward with the Ingram/amazon versions of Sea-oath as planned, so that’s what I’m doing. Will share the links when available. He was really touched by everyone sharing her work

We were in the proofing stage of a POD version of “Sea-oath” (with Eva’s blessing) since the first edition sold out. I’m waiting to re-confirm with Eva’s family. I’ll let you all know as soon as I have news.

Ten women reported the same man at Cornell. TEN. And nothing was done to stop him. Then people turn around and ask why women don't report. Maybe start asking why nobody listens when they do.

Learn a dead language. Memorize a poem. Study an ancient civilization. Read a philosopher nobody talks about anymore. Not every pursuit needs a measurable ROI.

And so I continue to write, although I have never been entirely certain what I am trying to accomplish. Perhaps I am leaving little accounts of my existence for a future self who may one day require proof that I was here, paying attention.

Maybe all writers are just people trying to leave evidence that they were here, that they noticed the rain, loved someone, lost something, and found the world worth describing despite everything.

I still buy real books, the weight of them, the smell of pages and how nobody can interrupt me with an ad. Some progress is best left on the shelf.

I have no friends here and maybe no one will see this. But my dogs are laying on the living room floor holding paws and it might be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. 🥹

Here’s what generally happens when you submit a book to a literary agent or a Big Five publisher: no answer. Here’s what happens if you submit to this small press. They read your book. They write back to you. @VineLeavesPress vineleavespress.substack.com…
