It's Labor Day weekend here in the United States! I hope you have a luxurious long weekend, friends.

Los Angelenos, if you're around next week, [Heather and I will be at Chevalier's in Larchmont Village talking to Katharine McGee about her new book, *American Royals*, on Wednesday.](https://www.chevaliersbooks.com/katharine-mcgee?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (We're here for all alternate universe royalty conversations!) While we're on the topic, it has recently come to my attention that a lot of people do not know that we're writing a sequel to *The Royal We*. WE ARE. It comes out next year at some time TBD! We still are writing it!

Here's something to read, while you're relaxing:
