TOMORROW 6/11/24 - This is the ONLY hybrid/virtual event I'll be doing for this whole book, broadcasting from Asheville, NC with my good friend  ‪@Princess_Weekes‬ !

From the bookstore: This hybrid event is free but registration is required for both in-person & virtual attendance. The link required to attend will be emailed to registrants prior to the event. Seating is limited. Note the important event details on the RSVP form. Find out more HERE:  https://www.malaprops.com/event/apostles-mercy-lindsay-ellis 

Better late than never, n'est pas?  Now including the second half, including a hybrid virtual event with  ‪@Princess_Weekes‬ ! So if you can't make any of the in-person ones but still want to ask me when the aliens are going to bang, that event is on 6/11! 

So glad PS express has the “Live, Laugh, Love” font.

Details forthcoming. More dates/cities to be added soon! 

‪@ToddintheShadows‬  and I are in some disagreement after his last video in which he describes Tammy Wynette as sounding miserable in "Stand by Your Man" so let's settle this with a poll - is "Stand By Your Man" a sort of tongue-in-cheek yet sincere song about how men are dumb but we love them anyway, or is it a plaintive wail of misery? 

My publisher had a few hundred hardcovers of my first two books leftover, so I decided now was a good opportunity to actually have a signed book bundle, which I’ve never done before, and try to, as the owners of the website would put it, “decrease world suck.” The net profits from the sale of this bundle will be donated to Operation Olive Branch to aid families trying to escape Gaza, and The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund. You can find them here:  https://store.dftba.com/collections/lindsay-ellis/products/axioms-end-and-truth-of-the-divine-signed-hardcover-first-edition-set  

This is the last chance to buy a signed hardcover edition of my first two books, probably ever. Includes first edition of Axiom’s End before the typos were corrected for the e-book and paperback. 

Signed book(plate) update!

Thank you to all who have pre-ordered, as you’ve heard a billion times from authors pre-orders are super important, but it bears repeating, because it’s still true. 

...on Nebula! I already have six full length video essays that have never been on YouTube, most recently about America's favorite son Guy Fieri. And before you ask no, these Nebula originals will never be on YouTube even if I wanted them to, because there are contracts saying so. Nebula is less than $5/month or $30/year, and if that seems steep remember - it's considerably cheaper than YouTube Premium (which I am bafflingly still paying for). 

Los Angeles! Next Friday at 6 PM! Chevalier’s Books! Book talk then signing! Event is free, but you can RSVP here:  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/truth-of-the-divine-by-lindsay-ellis-tickets-526885698307
