Welcome to the Tribe!

The weekly SHADOW & STAR newsletter will be on its way to you as soon as you confirm your email (in the email link we sent to you.)

(If you haven't received it yet, check your spam folders and then let us know at [email protected])

I appreciate your time and energy to be a part of our inner circle — I know you have many things that compete for your attention and only so much time.

I hope you make the Jeff W Welsh community your Internet home (or one of them, at any rate). To that end, the SHADOW & STAR newsletter is our exclusive means of weekly communication. At its best, it is a two-way channel: I personally read all of your comments and questions, and am eager to be sure you get something of value from being connected with us — with me.

Please drop me a line to let me know how I can be of more service; how I can best entertain, inform, involve and Interest you — how this group can make your life better in some way.

You can reach me with the form on the Contact page, the comment sections on my Substack or Medium accounts, through my Instagram channel, or directly at [email protected].

We will discuss fiction (books and short stories); the Hardcore Happiness project, which includes articles, stories, books (coming soon!) a podcast and eventually, courses and retreats; Existential Excavations, a deep dive on the "big" questions of life, and much more.

Members of our exclusive group will be the first (and in some cases, only) folks to hear about new works, speaking engagements, interactive live events and other get-togethers (I love to meet you all in person!), and maybe even new music, as I release it!

I mean it when I say I appreciate you. Life is too chaotic and short to miss out on these chances for community, love and discourse.
