It has been eight years since I started this story. I grew to love this concept. I hope you enjoy my tale as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I must thank HandyMan and bigfoot227 for their invaluable assistance with editing this story. The remaining errors that may have crept into the are entirely my fault.

My editors and I have begun the editing process for Coming Home, Book 2. The story is nearly complete, except for a couple minor scenes. I hope to have everything ready sometime in 2022.

There will be a lot more football in Book 2. Between Kyle's team, David's team and Danny's team, I have forty-some football games to cover in Book 2. More of the next generation of Life in Paradise offspring will join the cast of the story.

Thank you all for reading my tale.

p.s. For those who remember I said there were nineteen chapters to this story a few blog post ago, I give my apologies. It seems I miss-numbered the chapters a few months ago and did not catch the error until I was halfway through posting.

Posting Chapter 15 will be delayed until Friday. I spent too much time dealing with the fix to Chapter 13. If you check this chapter today, you will find the encounter between Emma and Danny is missing. The revision I posted over the weekend was rejected as too sexual too, so I am starting from scratch while I figure out how to get my point across while staying within Lazeez's posting guidelines.

Please note, this is not a gripe about Lazeez's rules. It is his site and he gets to set the rules and I will abide by them. I just need more time to figure out how to put my story line with Danny and Emma into the story and stay within the guidelines.

Thank you for your patience. Chapter 15 will be posted on Friday.

Boy, did I blow it last night when I posted an old version of Chapter 13 that had not been edited. I have posted the correct chapter for your enjoyment.

I have been posting on StoriesOnLine for sixteen years. I have not read Lazeez's posting guidelines in ages. Apparently they have changed since I posted "Drive for Excellence" featuring a thirteen-year-old Andy losing his virginity and "Innocence Lost" with almost thirteen-year-old Hunter going all the way with a neighbor girl.

I redid the order of the scenes in Chapter 13 to something more logical: Danny and Emma Saturday afternoon, followed by Jessie and Matt Saturday evening and then David and Sara's first date. I toned down the happenings in Danny and Emma's encounter, hopefully bringing it into compliance with Lazeez's guidelines.

I fixed the formatting error in Chapter 10. Hopefully the correction will be posted shortly.

Thank you to everyone who has written me about this story. I am not able to answer all of you, but thank you just the same.

I have turned on voting for the story. I hope everyone is enjoying it. I discovered I made an error when I numbered the chapters. The complete Book 1 is eighteen chapters long, not nineteen as I previously stated.

Work continues on Book 2. Thankfully I am more diligent about backing up my work than last spring. My primary laptop died this morning. I have never seen text on a computer screen shimmy before. Then I had bursts of black rectangles all over the screen followed by a locked up computer. A hard reboot produced nothing but a black screen. I think that laptop is history. Thankfully all my files are located on a USB SSD drive, so I am able to pull the SSD drive from the dead laptop and plug it into my backup laptop and continue working.

I look forward to hearing from you as I continue to post Coming Home, Book 1.
