The final two chapters of "The Lies We Lead" will post later today.

Thank you to everyone who has been following and reading. I very much appreciate it and hope you have all enjoyed Bobby's story.

The sequel, "The Truths We Live" will begin posting next week.

I’ve been asked a few times now where “The Lies We Lead” fits in with the wider timeline of the Westmouthshire Universe.

I’ve not yet updated all the short stories on here, but at the rainforest retailer, all my shorts aside from one or two are part of the WMSU and I have a spreadsheet that I’ve been working on that has both a simple timeline in it and a more detailed year on year calendar (which isn’t complete).

I also have another spreadsheet which serves as a database of which characters appear in which stories and in what capacity, and the ages of some of them at various points in the timeline.
I also plan to do the same for common locations in the WMSU – this fictional place is getting a bit out of hand without a reference guide for myself to work with.

But anyway… Here’s a simple timeline of the stories that make up the Westmouthshire Universe. (Not all these are no SOL yet).

• April-May 2007: Lost & Found
• June 2007: Banging my Teammates
• October 2007: Bus Stop
• November 2007: Extended Family
• March 2008: Scratched
• May–November 2008: The Ladz Series (4 stories)
• July 2008: Our Memorable Holiday
• October 2008-July 2009: Kissed by a Rose
• September 2009: Claire (present day narration)
• October 2009: Measuring Up
• March-June 2010: Eternally & Evermore (With flashbacks to 1989)
• May 2010: Charlotte’s Secret
• August 2010-October 2011: A Good Man
• September 2010-August 2011: Sophie
• March 2011: Private Party
• October 2011: Public Performance
• January 2012: The Slumber Party
• February 2012: Would Twins do This?
• August 2012: Sun, Sea & Shagging
• September 2012-June 2013: A Tortured Soul
• January-July 2013: The Big Four Ohhh!
• October 2013: The Lies We Lead
• April-June 2014: The Truths We Live

In addition, I’ve got three books I’m working on. A Wounded Heart starts in June 2013 (right after the end of A Tortured Soul) and will likely run through until at least the summer of 2014. “The Facts We Face” picks up the story from “The Truths We Live” in June 2014. And “The Big Ten Ohhh!” will continue Dave and Ruth’s story from “The Big Four Ohhh!” in May 2015.

We're just over halfway through "The Lies We Lead". Chapter 13 will post later today leaving 9 chapters left to post.

Thank you to everyone following the story to this point - I hope the twist in Chapter 12 came as a shock. There are a couple more twists to come yet.

Once TLWL has finished posting on the 18th, I'll wait a week or so and then begin posting the sequel "The Truths We Live". That one is a little longer at 27 chapters - nearly 4 weeks of daily postings.

I've got three stories in the posting queue right now.

"Banging my Teammates" is set to post later today. It's a one-shot short stroker. My take on a classic internet erotica trope.

"The Slumber Party" is similarly my take on a classic trope. It's in three parts and will start posting tomorrow. Once it's on the site, I'll queue up the remaining two parts for posting over the weekend.

And finally, "The Lies We Lead" will start posting on Saturday, with the prologue. Once that's on the site, I'll queue up the rest of the story, posting a new chapter every day.

I also added updated text to "Bus Stop" earlier this week.

I've moved "The Big Four Ohhh!" out from behind the paywall for a short time - I haven't made my mind up yet but probably a month or so.

All the files in this story were recently updated too. So if this is one you haven't read & you haven't got a premium sub on here, then here's your chance to. Enjoy.
