The author is still available; because he aims for readers, so your life is longer™

Why is the author still unclaimed, still at the door? Because he hasn't found his reader yet (we're just trying to be found; the signal is still traveling). And the hunt is not vanity; it is care with a citation. I aim for readers so your life is longer; a Yale-led study found book readers live measurably longer (about a 20% lower risk of dying, roughly 23 more months; correlational, and we keep that caveat). So the reach for a reader is not the author begging to be seen; it is the author trying to hand you more days. Find the book, find the reader, add the years. The most available author alive is the one whose whole gift is your longer life, still waiting at the door for you to open it. Kin: we're-just-trying-to-be-found, the Fermi paradox answered, a-chapter-a-day, books-not-bombs. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
