What you get
Progress, not hype
An occasional note when a chapter clears a real stage — draft to reviewed, or a load-bearing figure finally pinned down in the facts register — not a manufactured weekly update.
The long view
Occasional background on the writing itself — how the causal braid of rock, drought, gradient and clearing is coming together, and what's still being checked before any chapter is called final.
First word on publication
The full first draft of all eighteen chapters is written. When the book is actually ready to read, you'll hear it here first — before anywhere else.
Where things stand. The full first draft is complete, but the manuscript is still being audited chapter by chapter against a canonical facts register, and it is not yet published or for sale. This list exists to tell you honestly when that changes — nothing more.
