SmokinDriver: Blog

In one of my earlier Blogs I mentioned that book two was 48 chapters. If you are following the story you saw that chapter 48 was posted last night and it said that it was to be continued.

My editor suggested that I break up one or two chapters to give the content more focus. The final outcome was 51 chapters. I have 50 back from the editors and expect the last one back today or tomorrow. I will continue posting on schedule but might post chapter 51 on Friday or Saturday if I have it ready.

There have been a few asking about a book 3 and I have started thinking through the story line. I haven't started to write it yet, but if I do, it will be a while before anything starts to show up on SOL.

Thanks,

SD

I have a crazy week this week. I have a busy night planned so I posted Friday's chapter early. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading.

Chapter 41 will be posted Sunday night Eastern Time (US).

The answer to your question is "no". I'm not sure how you expected me to respond to your question with no return e-mail address.

They had to call it a union and not a co-op because one of the reasons for setting it up was to meet the requirement of some of the companies and locations they worked with that required union drivers to deliver and pick up to those locations. (co-op drivers didn't meet that requirement.)

I have submitted chapter 30 for posting. Sorry for the delay. We had some bad storms and I was without internet and without power and phone for a while. Thanks for your patience.

When I started posting book two I set up a posting schedule of Monday through Friday mornings. I live in the Eastern time zone of the United States so if you go by that time zone there are no problems.

When posting stories to SOL, there is a human in the process and that is why there a not too many stories posted between 11PM and 9AM Eastern Time. I started posting the night before so that the story would be posted in the morning when the moderator came in to start the day. One night I was a little too early and the story was posted immediately.
I found out that it was either still not too late on the west coast and that it was morning for readers around the globe. I started posting before I went to bed to let those readers have something to read with their morning coffee or tea.

Yesterday I started on my taxes and when I got up to post my story it was later than usual. I also remembered that the chapter was over twice as long as my normal chapters. This meant that my final read took longer and when I did finally post the story (early this morning), it was past the cut off. It should show up when the moderator comes starts the day at SOL. Sorry for the break in the schedule.
