Yesterday, I corrected a mistake that appeared in Opening Earth Parts 1 and 2.

A reader chastised me for inaccuracies related to what I said about sugar. He was correct. I had confused dextrose and sucrose. Sucrose is used to sweeten soft drinks, not dextrose. The refined sugar Doug sells the Multiverse markets is sucrose.

I win some and probably lose even more when it comes to what readers say are inaccuracies in the technical aspects of what I write about. Usually do to not fully understanding what I read about the topic and sometimes I fail to recognize the holes in my knowledge of a topic. Then there are the conflicting articles about a topic.

I just posted the Introduction and Chapter 1 of Time Scope Part 3. Remaining chapters (2-11) will be posted once a week on Tuesdays. Enjoy the story and let me know what you think.

Today I posted a new story - Caveman Courtship. It has an Introduction and three chapters, I will use SOL's scheduled posting option to post Chapters 2 and 3.

I have also finished writing Time Scope 3, and am preparing it for submission to my editor. If all goes well, it should be ready to post after the last chapter of CC posts.

I would plan to complete a one of the short stories that I have worked on periodically, while writing sequels to my longer stories.

Enjoy the stories and please let me know about any errors that you may find.

Today I discovered that I had the same story on my computer under two names. Not sure how that happened. A Rose by Any Other Name was the title posted on SOL. However, I had been doing changes to the master files of what I called Hell's Christmas Party. Fixing the problem was about the same amount of effort for the site moderators, so I changed the site's story title to Hell's Christmas Party.

Over the past few days, I discovered that I had updated a number of story files to correct errors and forgot to post the files. I am almost finished with posting the revised files and created a version control log to help me track of the version of each story's chapters to ensure the latest version is posted. The changes to these files were mostly correction of typos and other grammatical errors without change to the storylines.

Yesterday, I finished reviewing Chapters 13 and 14 and uploaded my revised chapters to SOL. I made one mistake while doing so. I forgot that due to the manner in which I uploaded the chapters, they would be posted immediately. So enjoy the posted chapters.

I will revise my scheduled posting dates and post Chapter 15 on Tuesday with the remaining chapters at weekly intervals.

Chapters 16-19 are a subplot that will set the stage for further changes in the life of Ambassador Doug Smith.
