Chapter 87 is in the can and 88 is in the works. We're starting to hit the stretch drive here.

Chapter 67 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary and the gang begin to move on from the Erin B. drama, but Kacie has to reward her brother for his behavior. The poor guy may not survive much more thanks, but he faces better odd there than he does with Coach Bennett.

Downloads have passed 349K, with about 1,300 since the new chapter went up a little more than an hour ago. The score ticked up to 8.21 and held steady. The follower count moved past 570. I'm amazed that things keep trending upward. I keep waiting for the balloon to burst one of these days.

Chapter 66 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary takes Erin B. out to lunch (without her dad tagging along) and winds up with more drama than any male should ever have to face.

Downloads passed 341K, so readership continues to be strong. The score briefly touched 8.21before slipping back to finish at 8.20 for the third day in a row. I'm almost to 570 followers and added another new patron on Patreon.

I finally got Chapter 87 finished last night and remain three weeks ahead of my SOL posting rate, so I'm feeling pretty good about things there. Thanks again for such continued support.

Chapter 65 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary and Erin Bennett have their date with Coach Bennett tagging along. Kacie welcomes her brother home.

The story just hit 335K downloads. The score remains steady at 8.20. Another half dozen followers have joined.

After a week of dealing with personal business, I can finally get back to writing. Chapter 86 had about a thousand words on the page and I should finish it sometime today, keeping me three weeks ahead of my SOL posting rate. Happy reading!

Chapter 64 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary survives his encounter with Meredith Metzger, a test from George Patterson and a visit from Arlene, Jan and Bethany. He gets some disturbing news about his date with Erin Bennett and finally gets his portfolio put together. And some other stuff happens with Kacie.

Downloads have passed 330K, almost 2,400 since the new chapter went up. The score held steady at 8.20. The follower count moved past 560. It's been a good week.
