We are aware of the posting error and are working to get it fixed.

Somehow, the body of text for chapter 20 is missing.

The body of text for chapter 21 got moved up. same for chapters 21 thru chapters 250.

Hope to have it solved soon.

Just so you know, I just posted 251 chapters of a new/old story called "From the Journals of Michael Wagner".

This is a complete re-write of my 'Second Time Through' series. Check out the Preface for a better explanation.

For those of you who were looking for Book Five of Second Time Through, and not interested in reading the re-write, you can skip to Chapter 235.

Hope you enjoy the re-write!

Big thank you to all the folks who so quickly and accurately pointed out all my spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. (I Love You, Cassie63)

I actually saved your emails in a handy folder and then finally sat down this afternoon and went through every single one of them and made the corrections. Then I sent them back to SoL. Not sure when they will get them all posted.

I have the outline of LiaB-3 scoped out, but have written only a few paragraphs. Sorry...

As always, thanks for reading my stories.

Just a head’s up that I finally posted Book 2 of Lightning in a Bottle.

Don’t worry… There will be a Book 3!

Don’t have a timeline yet.

Also, for those that keep asking, I have no plans at this time for when I will be posting the next chapter of Second Time Through.

I won’t bore you with all the details. The truth is, it’s not ready yet as I have decided I didn’t like where I took the story, so back to the drawing board.

Since I am an unpaid amateur author, this is not my full time gig, so let it go for now and maybe I will surprise you (and myself) when I get it all put together.

As always, thanks for reading my stories.

With my sincerest apologies to Sage Mullins, I did not know that there was already a story on SoL with the title “Lightning in a Bottle”.

But after researching it I discovered a few things I’ll share with you, just so you know I’m aware and you don’t have to e-mail me about it.

The BIGGER question is; would changing the title be better or leaving it as is? Please let me know. It’s only been up for two weeks, but If I change titles, will it confuse people?

I need your input,

Thanks,

Phil
