I wrote a short story for SOL's Halloween contest which just ended. I couldn't tell you before because the author is anonymous during the contest. The story, "Soulmates," finished in 3rd place. So for 6 months, it is only available in the Premier area. But after 6 months it will be moved to the free area.

So the story never showed up in the New Story area on the homepage. For those who didn't follow the contest and have a Premier membership, check out the story.

The novel I've been working on for well over a year is now published. It's on Bookapy at https://bookapy.com/s/418/lonely-war-widows.

"Lonely War Widows" is an erotic historical-fiction romance that takes place during World War II and a few years after. My novel "The Breeder" also takes place in the past (1880s), but that novel is not historical fiction. The only real event in that novel is mentioning the Irish land wars. Everything else is period based, but pure fiction. This new novel, "Lonely War Widows," has real historical people and events in it, although it is also fiction - hence Historical Fiction.

At 136,000 words, it's the longest novel I've written. Maybe because it spans more years than any other story of mine. And for those of you who didn't like the non-consensual sex and abuse in some of my other novels, this one is all consensual sex. There really isn't a bad guy like in my Lincoln Steele thrillers.

Now I need to figure out what I'm going to write next.

I've been posting the chapters for "High School Massacre" on Tuesdays (sometimes Monday or Wednesday when I was busy on Tuesday). But I got impatient and posted the final chapter of this novel last Friday.

For those who were expecting the posting today and didn't notice it on SOL or aren't a member in my group where I announce postings, I thought I should mention it here.

Today is the scheduled date for Chapter 38 for "High School Massacre" to be posted.

I submitted it around 2 hours ago, but it's still waiting in the queue. All I can do is wait.

Does anyone speak Italian and is willing to review something I wrote to see if it's correct.

Thanks
