WEEK 47 - JewelVerse: Puzzling Directions through the Unstable Branch

Week 47 and I apologise for the last couple of weeks running a little late. The day job has been hectic but not to fret - it did breed grounds for another future newsletter issue. Stay tuned! I’m quite excited for it.

For this week, I’m going to keep it short while I recover, so this week’s newsletter will just be a reminder of the following:

Hold on! What’s the Unstable Branch?

The Unstable Branch contains the stories of my thriller comic and short stories - Unstable Foundations, and Unstable Directions (Chapters 1 and 2 thus far). The story recounts the experiences of young hacker (and unintentional spirit communicator) Madeline Law and her civil engineer (but incarcerated) cousin Nathaniel Tan in their bid to find the people behind who entangled Nathaniel in a complicated web of heists, black money, and stolen heritage.

Now with the help of a mysterious middle manager named Morganite, the cousins realise that this tangled web is likely to be a lot bigger than the both of them, with more danger than they probably signed up for.

And that’s it from me! See you all next week!
