Hi all,

Bad news first: I need more time on another project, which means I need to spend less time on Winter Rain.

Good news: I’m still going to update three days a week. Sort of. Winter Rain will be updated Tuesdays and Thursdays. From now on, on Saturdays, I’m going to run serialized short stories set in the Winter Rain universe, under the title Winter Rain Tangents. Here you’ll find events preceding Winter Rain, or told from the gaps, or maybe even told from other perspectives.

I’m writing Tangents stories in one go, but serializing them in parts. This means two things. First, you can rely on them being published on time, Saturday mornings. Yay! And second: you can gain early access to the whole story, if you just can’t wait, in exchange for some publicity. Details are posted on the most recent Tangent.

So, hopefully, it’s a compromise we can all be happy with. Thanks, as always, for your continued readership. I really appreciate it!

And now, without further ado: Chance Encounter.

Chris.
