Welcome back to the let's be friends podcast. This is your host Kara. It's been a while, a little over a month since I've recorded an episode on here,

though I've been recording lots of episodes for The Friendship Membership. If you ever feel

like you have a craving for Let's Be Friends, I haven't been putting a lot of episodes out in this

main feed. I do also have a membership. It's called The Friendship Membership. This podcast is

ad-free. It's the only way I monetize on it, which keeps the show running. It means a lot to me. And it keeps it commercial free. So thank you to everybody who's part of the Friendship Membership. When you sign up, you get over 50 bonus episodes and you're going to get two to four more every month and it's only

eight dollars a month and we get to be friends you also get to come to monthly zoom hangouts with me

and the other friends of the friendship membership so it's a really cool thing i love it i'm so

grateful to be doing this podcast still it's like three years almost after I started it. I started this,

I think, May 2021. Who would have thought I would ever have a podcast? Not me. But I love making

friends. So let's be friends. And today I want to chat with you kind of a little more just my thoughts about what's going on in the world in general right now, what's been going on in my life. It's been a really busy time. You all know I have my memoir. Here Comes Trouble publishing this month. It's going out to those who pre-ordered the book in two weeks. I keep saying in two weeks,

but there's been some unexpected delays. I had to hire a brand new editor last minute. I had some

issues with my previous editor when they said the book was completed. It was not even close to

grammatically correct, unfortunately. So I had to last minute

hire another final proof editor. And she's working on the book right now. She's doing an amazing job.

And I can't rush that process. So once she's done, it's off to lay out, off to the printer,

and then off to the people who pre-ordered.

If you want to pre-order, I sold out the first run, but I decided to do one more because this was pushed back a couple weeks.

And the pre-orders are their limited edition copies are going to have an original cover, and I will be writing a personalized message in the beginning of those, and you will be getting the book probably almost a month before it's dropped to the public. So if you're excited to read, Here Comes Trouble, you want to support me and the work that I'm doing, pre-order my memoir at carammosier.com or join the friendship membership

at let's be friendspodcast.com. And if you don't really care about any of that, just keep listening

because this is out here for free. And you can order my memoir when it's dropped to the public in May, and there will also be an

audiobook coming out then, too. So today, I want to talk about a whole bunch of things, because I've

been basically doing a ton of research under the history of this world and like all the strange
