Chapter 62 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary deals with the aftermath of his encounter with Bethany, manages to get through another shift at work and takes a nap. Oh, yeah, then he takes Jan to the apartment. And learns a bit more of Arlene's backstory. He's gonna need another nap, isn't he?

Downloads have passed 314K. The score has stayed steady at 8.18. I've reached 550 followers and picked up three more patrons on Patreon. This is slowly starting to become worthwhile.

Chapter 85 is in the can, but I've still got a lot of personal business to deal with. Writing may be somewhat sporadic until it all gets done.

Downloads have exceeded 300K, a number that just boggles my mind. It wasn't that long ago that I though 10,000 was an achievement. The score bumped back up to 8.15. We'll see if it holds steady after two days of bouncing back and forth. I've picked up another half dozen followers and three new patrons on Patreon. Things keep getting a little better each day.
