New Series :)

I’m beginning a new series today, and returning to my roots a bit. When I first started posting stories here, I would post chapters of a series more-or-less as I wrote them. Typically, I had a good idea where the story would ultimately end, but only a general sense of how it would get there. The journey was part of the fun of it. As each chapter would post and I would engage with people leaving comments, my ideas for future chapters tended to shift. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. So that’s how I’ll be doing Kern, except I do have a couple of the initial chapters written. Even there, the concrete’s still wet. My intention is to post weekly on Monday evenings (UTC-5).

For those of you who hesitate to start reading a series until it’s done, believe me, I understand. I’ve wailed and gnashed my teeth at any number of wonderful stories that authors left unfinished — generally in the middle of a cliffhanger! All I can say is, I’ve never yet failed to finish a story I’ve started posting, and only rarely have I failed to meet an announced posting schedule. I spent a career meeting deadlines, and they tend to focus my mind like nothing else.

So there it is. Kern is departing from Gate 42 (naturally), with a listed destination of “parts unknown.” You are welcome to board at any time. On behalf of all of us at Air-e-Tate, I hope you enjoy the flight. :)
