Update: Next Two Months will be Slower
Hi Everyone,
This is a good point for a brief update on where we are with Book 2 of The Tale of Rin and what to expect.
March and April will be very busy months for me because of a variety of travel and personal commitments, so episodes will be released more slowly. I expect things to return to normal by May.
The next three episodes will be released on March 8th, March 20th, and April 5th. They follow the events of Episode 90 and all take place in Yemen.
My apologies for this. I had originally planned to intersperse them with the other threads, but they’re the only episodes that will be ready for release by then. I figured that clustering them this way was better than releasing nothing for a whole month.
This change in order makes no difference to the continuity or consistency of the novel, but normally I prefer to interleave threads to keep things flowing. Otherwise, the novel threatens to read like a series of short novellas. It’s not, of course, and most of the threads do eventually converge.
After the release of those three episodes, we’ll be a third of the way through Book 2. Overall, it’s sizing up to have somewhere between 150 and 160 episodes (depending how I break things up and how much gets added during editing).
Thanks for reading, and my apologies for the temporary slow-down.
Cheers,
Ken
