Welcome

Thanks for subscribing to The Iceberg, which covers all the stuff that I'm not supposed to include in my stories because "people aren't interested in the research that goes into a story, they just want the story." 😅

Every Monday morning, expect to get a targeted summary of the research into obscure history & biology, which I do to support my writing. You can get access to those stories with a premium membership, by the way. Check out my landing page for a free sample.

If there's ever a topic you're interested in learning more about, or happen to know more about, please drop a comment on the relevant post, or just hit "reply" from your inbox. I read and respond to every email I get.

By the way, in case you haven't had a chance to check out the archives yet, some of my most popular past issues are:

Spidersilk
Herding giant vegetarian spiders for their silk: a plausibility deep dive
Glass
Siliceous skeletons & the origin of clear glass windows
Fungus
Hallucinogenic urine drinkers & the fungi-cleaning duties of ancient priests
