Number 7: Blog

Good Evening,

The weekend is just about over and I am submitting for posting Chapter Four. It is quite long and sets the tone for the next phase of Cal's unusual life.

For those hoping to find the completed text in one place, it isn't ready yet. I write much slower than I did and SECOND CHANCE TOO is a testament to that.
The book is taking shape much better than I hoped because I spent several years hating the way it read. Suffice it to say that I keep trashing large blocks of text and rewriting with a vengeance.

The mail has continued to be positive, so I'm guessing it doesn't totally suck to this point.

To my friend Jerry, thanks for all the encouragement!

To all who take the time to write, you give me reason to continue. Thanks.

Have a great week!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to drop me a note.

I have just loaded CHAPTER TWO for posting, and discovered I loaded the earlier, unedited version.
I've sent in the correct one and it should appear soon.so it should appear in a short while.

My thanks go out to Lazeez for catching my format error and fixing it for me. There is a family atmosphere about SOL that is very precious to me.

For those concerned about starting in the middle of something, there will be no lost readers in SECOND CHANCE TOO. I am writing it to make any first time reader feel welcome and comfortable. As we go along you will see what I mean.

HOWEVER...

Going back and reading SECOND CHANCE will give you loads of additional information about our protagonist.

Have a great week!!

I have just submitted the Prologue and Chapters One & Two of the next book in the SECOND CHANCE Series.
Due to health challenges and time constraints, I am taking a slower, more deliberate pace with this book. Please don't be unhappy. Sometimes time helps the finished product more than timeliness.
As of these first chapters, Carl has no idea who he is, and we will let him wander a bit before bringing the past into his present.
As always, please drop a line and let me know what you think.
Have a great TUESDAY!

I've spent months and months working on the basics of the next installment of Second Chance.

It's been a long hard grind, but I'm finally reasonably happy with the new direction.
I've sent off the first set of chapters to Mike "O" and am waiting to see if he likes it as much as I do.

Once we get over that hump I will start posting.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

John

Thanks to everyone who took a few minutes to read my book - Last Night at the Last Chance Diner

The mail about my Christmas book has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you all for that.
It was my plan to post the final chapters on Chrsitmas Eve, but things get kind of crazy these days, which brings me to the final chapter of the book.
I truly hope you enjoy(ed) it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you who celebrate the Birth of Christ.
Happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates the Festival of Lights, which began yesterday, IIRC.
Happy New Year to everyone else.

John
