I again succumb to my propensity to keep three stories going. This time I'm introducing Jay and Lena, a little different, but then a a bit of the same, just like life.

And to the fifty or sixty of you who wrote me concerning the wrap-up of Community Two, thank you so very much. The kind comments are my Christmas present. I promise I will roll out the first chapter of the new story before New year's Day.

It's time to wrap up Community Too. Fifty-odd chapters is enough. Ending the story will make it eligible for the Best Stories of 2016, if you're of a mind to vote for it.

Fear not, though. I have had too much fun with Cindy and Terri and the gang to let them go our into the universe untended. There will be a new story, same characters, same universe, and I hope it will continue to hold your interest and make you want to keep reading.

I just posted the conclusion to Swamped Fox. I don't know if I'm going to kick off another story just yet. There are a couple simmering on the back burner that might be Christmas stories for the contest. I'll leave inspiration to Dorable.

In the meantime, I've got two more stories still active.

Lots of rain down here on the Gulf Coast. That means it's a good time to write.

I appreciate all the notes you folks have been sending me. Makes me want to write even more.

It's very heartening to be keeping three stories going and finding that all three are in the "Top Twenty downloads".

Keep the good thoughts going. My dear little muse, Dorable, has been very accommodating and playful. I want her to stay that way.

A few years ago when I started writing these stories, somebody contacted me and had me ghost-write three short stories. I've lost the email address on one computer update or another.

I'd like to know how those stories worked out for you, and where they might have been posted.
