Just a quick note to say that I had planned to release a Shane and Colton chapter today, but I’ve had…distractions…and it’s taking longer than expected.  I had thought to just publish it when I came to a stopping point, but to borrow the term from software development, I feel that the stories should be atomic—self-contained and occurring at a single point in time in the overall S&C universe—in order to avoid starting down a path that I can’t finish or introducing inconsistencies among storylines.  As a result, I’m not going to publish the short story until I get it finished.  It won’t be a chapter so much as a “side quest” that occurs sometime after the trial but before the epilogue in the main Shane and Colton story.
