"Casanova 20" has a UK cover

coming in hot (in 2025)

Yesterday, I submitted the final draft of my third novel, Casanova 20: Or, Hot World, to my fabulous editor, Alicia Kroell (who also edited my second novel, X). Today, my UK publisher, the inimitable Cipher Press, released this cover. The timing is coincidental, but the instant gratification is still hitting. Where’s the nearest slot machine?

While the manuscript is finished, there’s still production to do—from copy edits to layout to printing—before Casanova’s release late next year. Feels like ages! Whatever! In the meantime, I’ll have a little more space for this newsletter (not to mention my fourth book…). I know I owe you a few things, including the next installment of my new series on slurs, so stay tuned.

Reminder that I’ll send you one free month of subscriber-only DAVID content if you send me a screenshot of your donation to any of fundraiser for Palestinians trying to survive within Gaza or relocate to safety. Gaza Funds is one place to get started.

Thank you for reading and sharing my weekly newsletter. You can also support me by buying my book. Find me on Twitter and Instagram.
