Chapter 21 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary takes the first steps in a new career and receives an unexpected bonus.

This another chapter without sex that helps move the story along. The days after the holiday weekend will be a little hectic as things settle out, but progress is being made on several fronts. Trust me, more sexual encounters are on the way.

Chapter 20 continued the run of 5,000-download days and the story is nearing 76,500 this morning. The score also bumped up a little higher after fluctuating a throughout the day yesterday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can eventually reach that magic 8.0 mark.

Thanks for reading!

Chapter 20 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Memorial Day comes to an end, but not without a massive sigh of relief, some wheelin' and dealin' and another life lesson for our hero, who may forever more need John Philip Sousa instead of Barry White as mood music.

The story seems to have found it's audience, receiving another 5,000 downloads. The score continues to inch upward, reaching a new high for the second day in a row.

I've even picked up two more patrons on my Patreon page. Things are slowly starting to come together and I now have 10 chapters in the can.

Again, I can't thank readers enough for the support they've shown.

Chapter 19 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. The Memorial Day picnic we've heard so much about is finally here. This is another scene that I had planned from the start that just kind wrote itself. No sex in this chapter, but it is a major event in the story.

Reader response continues to be incredible. The story has surpassed 65,000 downloads and the score has inched up a little higher. If this keeps up, the story could move into the top scores list in addition to its ranking on the top downloads list.

I've made an announcement on Twitter (@Scribe_Alured) regarding my Patreon page. Please check it out. Again, thanks for all the support.

Chapter 18 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary continues to deal with the aftermath of his gettogether with Arlene Jenson as we finally get to Sunday. Who knows what and how is it going to change things?

Chapter 17 was even better received than I could have hoped. In addition to BSE surpassing 60,000 downloads, the score rocketed to a new high, gaining nearly two-tenths of a point. I guess somebody liked it.

Some big events are coming up in the next few days. It'll be interesting to see how our hero gets through it.

Chapter 17 of Best Summer Ever is posted. If you don't know what's coming after the last two chapters, I can't help you. Let's just say Gary gets a few life lessons and leave it at that.

Reader response continues getting better every day. Another 5,000-download day on Saturday and the score has rocketed back to it's previous high. I'm eager to see if we can keep it going.

This has been a productive week as far as writing is concerned. I'm now on Chapter 25 and things are really starting to pick up. The holiday weekend and following days see some significant developments. Enjoy!
