In the run-up to Northcoast Shakedown, I wrote a series of short stories to help me get a handle on Nick’s background. They did not get published in order, and only one, “Flight of the Rat,” has an actual date. (September 11, 2001, and for obvious reasons.) If you look at the short story page, you can see the publication order of the stories. However, if you want to see Nick’s actual chronology, here it is:
“Race Card” – January, 1999
“A Walk in the Rain” – April, 1999
“Valentine’s Day” – February, 2000
“Just Like Suicide” – April, 2001
“Wring That Neck” – May, 2001
“Full Moon Boogie” – July, 2001
“Flight of the Rat” – September 11, 2001
“Demon’s Eye” – November, 2001
“Cold Cocked” – January, 2002
“Roofies” – March, 2002
