Terry and Lupe's Roman Holiday received the highest score in the April Fool's Writing Contest, and I want to thank the premier members for their kind reception. I wrote the entire story in two days using a fountain pen and a notebook, before I typed it into my laptop, and I am quite happy with the result. It was also a nice reprieve from writing nautical yarn.
I hope all the premier members will enjoy it, and in a half year, the rest of you as well! Cheers! 🍻

I added Chapter 2 to Thomas Grey & The Smugglers, but I somehow picked an obsolete file. The correct file is now in the posting queue. Sorry for the mishap!!

PS: The edited chapter is now out!

Hi, several readers asked me to post the relative position of the now six Thomas Grey stories in a timeline. For reasons of simplicity and to save the staff here the effort, I placed the timeline as graph into each of the new books at Bookapy.

To have that on the SOL homepage, I will have to look into matters. Here is what helps: Look at the preview of the Bookapy stories; the timeline is included and previews are free!

PS: I re-ordered my stories on my homepage to be in chronological order: https://storiesonline.net/library/author.php?nazme=argon&sf=itsSequence&so=asc&p=2

I just submitted the first chapter of the next story in the Thomas Grey saga. Thomas Grey and His Friends follows Thomas Grey and The Year Without Summer and sees our hero 'on the beach' and on half-pay.
"With the year 1818 starting, Thomas expects better times for his family and lands. Yet, the year starts with a tragedy, and the following events have him meet boyhood friends but also encounter underhanded enemies. In the end, there are four weddings and a funeral, but there are also new adventures in the offing."
He reconnects with his boyhood friend Robert Bryce, but also with Alice Houghton, his make-believe fiancée. He has to thwart an underhanded plot against his person, but he can also enjoy time with Mirabel and his growing family.
The complete book is already available at Bookapy, along with Thomas Grey & The Hundred Days (with an additional chapter of his exploits of the French coast), Thomas Grey and The Year Without Summer (revised and reedited), and the next novella, Thomas Grey & The Smugglers. All four novellas can be purchased as a collection at a reduced price.

My sincere thanks to Old Rotorhead, my longtime editor, for cleaning up typos, the syntax and factual errors! As always, if you still detect typos or glitches, let me know, and I'll fix them in a timely manner.

The new, revised Chapters 16 - 18 are up. Enjoy!
