Oh, there was something ever so tantalizing about that asterisk and its promise of a book that was Forthcoming. It let you know that there was a PLAN in the works.
So I've always gotten excited when I get my author copies of each new book, and right there in the front matter it lays out a little more of a promise, a bit more of The Plan.

I don't know why, but it always thrills me. I think because it is that explicit promise I'm making to the readers: More is on the way. And that promise is a thing I take very seriously. I don't like to tell you that a book is coming unless I know it's coming. I make good on what I tell you I'm going to do.
So I need to get back to it, so I can keep fulfilling that promise.

"Ah, the magic of stumbling upon words that feel like they were plucked straight from the soul! There’s something undeniably electric about thoughts that resonate deeply—like finding a hidden melody in a bustling city. This piece? A masterclass in weaving insight with charm. Kudos to the writer for turning mere letters into a symphony of ideas. 🎻 Keep dancing between the lines, because the world needs more of this brilliance!" darkmarket 2025
