Having trouble separating out the various unrelated threads into there own stories so thought I'd update everyone with my current plan:

Continue writing Chain of Cores, the origin story for Asvar as well as the system.

Start writing The Glazier's Wife, the story of Stella who is the mother of Wolfe. The story is likely to switch between her view, her son Wolfe and her husband Adam as required.

The Harbour Dungeon will include an updated version of the story of Emma and Emily but be predominantly from the point of view of Sarah, the harbour master.

A more detailed version of the story of the character previously known as The Reporter which will hopefully be a police procedural but will take on whatever genre is required to tell it properly, especially as I plan to explore the character of Carmen as a primary focus. May well involve the ice dungeon as before but probably in a different role.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

The experience John Quill has as a member of the Adventurers Guild, likely to have more action scenes than the other which will probably result in lower initial quality.

Each of these stories will get there own volume and be separated out if all goes according to plan. Ideally I'd complete Chain of Cores first then focus on each of the others in turn and they'd be stand alone tales in the same setting. In practice I'm writing them all simultaneously and trying to do so in roughly chronological order.

No guarantees about which will be updated when but my current policy of publishing chapters only if complete remains - I've just changed the definition of what I consider complete. If all goes well expect a chapter from one of these stories on 11 June 2023.
