"To Everything There Is a Season"
A Vaporous Realms Publishing update for subscribers
Greetings, y’all!
The book of Ecclesiastes is one of the primary thematic inspirations behind the story-cycles of the Vaporous Realms. And the best-known part of that book, thanks to innumerable speeches and sermons and the Byrds, is chapter 3, which begins, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”
In the spirit of that scripture, we need to take a little time off from most Vaporous Realms Publishing activity, including here on Substack—because, Wright be praised, the House of M. B. Heywood grew by two a week ago! In this season, our twin blessings deserve and require many of the hours previously devoted to writing and the sleep needed to write.
Here’s what this looks like:
automatically extending all paid subscriptions through the end of August for free
June — a hiatus from activity on Substack and Instagram (though unlockable episodes of Zshurii’s Song will continue publishing to Kindle Vella)
July — posting the last four fragments of Zshurii’s Song
August to September — for free subscribers, a short trial period of complimentary access to our archives; then, for paid subscribers, posting the revised Len novella in full before the ebook release!
September to October — weekly snippets of Delfii’s Song
Thank you, and bless you, for your support so far this year. Enjoy June, and we look forward to returning in July with renewed energy and inspiration!
—M. B. Heywood
