X. Ho Yen's Author Newsletter (26 Mar 2026)
Greetings Dear Readers,
To subscribe: the subscription box “Older Posts >” link available at the bottom of the web newsletter
Or subscribe to my Substack (which is free)
If you’d like to UNsubscribe from this newsletter, hit reply and say as much. Easy peasy, no judgment, no problem. (Unsubscribing from Substack is separate and is done there.) Unsubscribing if you’re not interested HELPS me. Having subscribers who aren’t engaged throws me off.
My substack content replaces social media, and contains fun, thoughtful, and/or serious material (including my videos) that would never fit into tiny SM posts. (no more Youtube, which is google)

As previously announced, I'm now donating all net royalties to Ukraine. The flag pic is a link to Help99. You can also donate to United 24. Or buy my books as gifts and donate that way—net royalties will go to either of those two places. They both go directly to help Ukraine, and helping Ukraine also directly helps civilization as a whole, including you. Few things so clearly do.
I still don't know how to handle these newsletter mass mailings without gmail. That's why this is coming from my old email address.
Today’s Substack post essentially constitutes an Author Newsletter, so let me direct you there. The Gort/Klaatu pic is the same link:

All purchase options can be found here: https://XHoYenAuthor.com/books. There’s info on how you can gift eBooks.
Thanks for sticking with me! I hope it’s at least mildly entertaining to watch this author second career thing come together in the midst of one kind of strife or another.
Please do share my page with fellow realism-based sci fi fans, especially anyone who enjoys Older’s Infomocracy, Card’s Speaker for the Dead, or movies like “Arrival” and “Don’t Look Up”. I'm convinced my books would appeal to the same audience, because I wrote them for me and I'm in that audience.
Thanks for your support!
