Hi Thomas –<\/p>\n

Just a quick one to advise I’ve opened up a new account for my nom de plume, Chet Nairene, on Substack.<\/p>\n

This is a source for FREE short stories centering around my usual sweet spot, Westerners getting in over their heads in Asia.<\/p>\n

So far there are three stories there for readers to enjoy. The content is humorous and adult, and will resonate for our international radio listener audience, too.<\/p>\n

Hope you and your readers will enjoy!<\/p>\n

Thanks, Ralph! We look forward to your Substack updates!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
