The Misadventures of Kit Fairweather: Mission One: Titanic — Not on the Manifest arrives November 17, 2026.
I’m delighted to finally share this adventure with you. It begins in 2249, with a young operative who has trained for history’s most dangerous turning points—and a janitor who most definitely has not.
Andy Starborn’s first assignment should be straightforward: save the Titanic. Then Kit Fairweather accidentally comes along, bringing a battered cleaning cart, a collection of failed inventions, and the kind of optimism that rarely survives contact with a sensible plan.
Bucket comes too. Naturally, he considers the ship his.
A familiar voyage. An unlikely crew.
Stranded in 1912, Kit and Andy meet Clara, Maeve, and Enzo—people with plans, loyalties, and futures of their own. As the ship races toward its fate, the mission becomes about more than changing history. It becomes about the people caught inside it.
Expect time travel, terrible business ideas, unexpected friendships, and an orange cat who does considerably more than watch.
Come aboard before launch
You don’t have to wait until November to meet Kit. Read chapter one, meet the crew, or watch the trailer.
This is also the first post in News & Misadventures. I’ll be sharing launch updates, glimpses behind the story, and more from the world of Kit Fairweather here. Join the email list below to hear when there’s something new.
Thank you for being here at the beginning. I can’t wait for you to meet this crew.
