Why We Started This Journey
A behind-the-scenes look at creating hope-filled stories in a noisy world.
Hi everyone — Kathy here.
If you’re new, welcome. If you’ve been following The Mannamong for a while, thank you for being part of this little universe we’re growing.
Today I want to start simple: why we’re here.
Michael has spent years creating a world built on a single idea — that hope is real, even when everything feels uncertain. I’ve watched him pour thousands of hours into these books with a kind of devotion that’s rare.
This Substack isn’t about polished announcements or perfectly timed marketing.
It’s about the journey — the messy, human, behind-the-scenes story of building something meaningful.
What you’ll get here:
Updates
Creative process insights
The ups and downs of indie publishing
Why stories matter
And little glimpses of the heart behind The Mannamong
If you’re looking for a space that feels like sitting at a kitchen table with fellow creators and readers… welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
— Kathy
