Hello Friends!
I’m dropping in live during my sabbatical to tell you all about a new project I am working on. My last sabbatical I launched the Podcast for Nerdy Christians. This sabbatical, I am starting a Substack newsletter called Trail Blaze Fiction, a new experiment in participatory storytelling.
Each week beginning Friday, July 5, 2024, I will post a chapter of a brand new fantasy story. At the end of the post, readers will vote in a poll about where the story will go in the next chapter.
If that piques your interest, please join me over on Substack! (If not, no hard feelings. WheretheWind.com isn’t going anywhere.)
