Winter Update (08/02/10)

Posted on: 19:46:11 / 08-02-2010
Somehow I've missed an entire week of my update schedule. Not sure how that happened, but normal service returns as of today.

Part 38 kicks off with this segment, which means we're back with Gina again for some serious telepathic madness. Enjoy!

Ryan

Winter Resuming Next Week

Posted on: 12:27:58 / 15-01-2010
I'm sorry for the long delay, STREET fans, but I've not yet been able to get the next segment into shape. I'm going to have to miss this week and resume next week, to give me a little head start for the new year.

The good news is, I've had a much-needed flash of inspiration and I'm now surging ahead once again.

Ryan

Happy new year, STREET fans! New update is now available, despite my body's best efforts to shut down and die on me. Please bear with us while medical professionals try to put this useless meatbag back into working order.

New segment is up! It's not early, or even on time, but it's good and it's a long one. Rat's arc for this book is just about wrapping up.

Heeeere we go. This should hopefully be the last late update for the forseeable future, as I am getting on top of things again. What a relief!

Maybe at some point we could even go back to updating twice a week. Who knows -- anything could happen!

Winter This sounds like fun . . .

Posted on: 09:30:47 / 12-12-2009
I just got wind of this charming news story; Canadian SF author Dr. Peter Watts was stopped, beaten and arrested by the US border guard for no good reason.

The story is a bit more complicated than that, obviously, but having myself encountered the people on the US/Canada border back in 2003, I will believe this story without any reservations. There haven't been many times in my life where I've felt genuinely threatened by other people, but the US border patrol managed it.

If you have any way of helping the poor guy out, STREET fans, please do what you can!

Ryan

Winter Welcome

Posted on: 05:39:41 / 06-07-2009
Hello and welcome! This is the home of Street, an online trilogy of cyberpunk novels written by science-fiction author Ryan A. Span -- that's me. You can read the books serially on this website for free, or buy them in print as they are finished and published. No ads, no obligations, just a good story.

Besides my work on Street, I'm a dedicated games writer, with projects like UFO: Alien Invasion and Mount&Blade under my belt. Well worth checking out.

The story is continually updated with new segments. The schedule is currently a little unpredictable due to hardware trouble, but updates run ONCE a week on sundays. If you've enjoyed the story so far, please check back regularly and you'll find ne segments waiting for you. You can also use our RSS feed to stay abreast of updates.

NOTE: A major rewrite of Book Two has just been completed, so please don't be alarmed if any old material seems to be gone or different. A reread from Part 26/27 onwards is recommended!

If you're a new visitor, you'll most likely want to start at the beginning of the story and go from there. Or, if you don't like reading on a screen, you can buy a copy of "STREET: Empathy" (contains Parts 1-18, plus Part 19 as a bonus). Lastly, you can find easily-printable PDF files and other goodies in our Files section.

If you like what you read, please tell your friends about Street! We're relying on you readers to get the word out.

For anything that's on your mind, feel free to use our forum.
