Just got my copy edits for Five-Paragraph Essay on the Body-Mind Problem and am pleased to report that the "word consistency" section of the Style Guide specifies correct spelling for "bardo" "susurrating" and "pteradactloid" plus the Kiswahili phrase "nimefurahi sana"

Look, look, my book has a cover! William Morris blackberries, spiky and sweet.

Book cover: Art nouveau image of flowering blackberry vines, with the words "Five-Paragraph Essay on the Body-Mind Problem" written across the top
