Two bits of news today, and both feel good to write.
First, Chapter 9 of The Long Way Back is live. Go read it. We're staying on the two-a-week rhythm you voted for, and so far it feels like the right pace for this story.
Second, the novella is complete. Available Light is finished and fully online now, start to end. If you followed Evan Reed into that too-warm hotel room in Prague, you can now walk the whole way with him. I'm proud of this one, and I'd love to know what you think.
Both the book and the novella are up on ZBookStore as well. Any support over there is genuinely welcome and it's a big part of what lets me keep doing this. No pressure though. Reading here already means a lot. And that's the thing I keep coming back to: your comments and your mails. I read every one. Some make me laugh, some make me rethink a scene, and a few have stayed with me for weeks. That back-and-forth is half the reason I write.
So thank you, honestly. I'm not slowing down. There's more coming, and I'm looking forward to writing it. See you in the next chapter.
