Hello, Trekker faithful. A quick note on the story continuity for HAND OF KINDNESS. This story takes place between the events of CHAPELTOWN and THE DARKSTAR ZEPHYR. It is set when Mercy and Molly were still back in Chapeltown. So, it is running here out of order. The reasons for this are both rather torturous and essentially unimportant. The result, however, is that a reader might be confused at a few points in the story, and that is important. Hence this note.
In print, HAND OF KINDNESS will be in its appropriate place. It appears in the brand-new TREKKER: CHAPELTOWN book as the back-up to that tale. So if you wish to experience these tales in the setting that I feel serves them the best I hope you’ll get a copy of that new book. You can pre-order it right now on my new Etsy store! I will have books in hand within days and be filling orders by the end of the month. The Etsy store features a few other Trekker-related items as well. So, please check it out!
Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the interlude of Hand of Kindness!
