When Kate Hensley’s husband surprises her with the news that not only are they off to spend a child-free day on the slopes of Queenstown’s premier ski resort, but he’s also arranged her first snowboarding lesson, she should be thrilled. So why does she feel like something is off? As the morning progresses, a little romantic fantasy proves a welcome distraction, but it can’t disguise the nagging sensation that there’s more to her husband’s gesture than meets the eye…
A titillating tale of love, lust, and alpine activities, Snow Time is the fifth instalment in a series of surprising and darkly humorous short stories. While sharing a linked universe, each story in the saga stands alone and they can be read in any order. If you like relatable characters, amusing dialogue, and action spiced with both comedy and tragedy, then you’ll love J.B. Reynolds’s Crossing The Divide short story series.

J.B. Reynolds lives in rural Northland, New Zealand, where he raises children and chickens. He writes humorous fiction in which tragedy meets comedy and character reigns supreme. His first short story was published while he was a university student, and in between that and a return to serious writing in 2016 he has worked as a graphic designer, landscaper, ski and snowboard technician, film critic, librarian, apple picker, and baker of muffins and teacakes. His first novel, Taking the Plunge, was published in 2019.
Nowadays, when not writing, he's a husband, father, and high school teacher (not necessarily in that order). He enjoys sailing, cycling, and playing music, really loud, when his wife and kids aren't at home. He has a big garden where he likes to get his fingernails dirty, and he loves to eat the things that grow in it.
