Dear Readers,
Some hard work has paid off for the kids, but much remains unsettled. Or, as a certain girl once said, "You can see it, out there, rushing toward you. Endless power... And you have just enough time to decide: do you stay, or do you run?"

I hope you stay and read, but I understand if you have to run. In other news, SR is now the longest story I have up on SOL, and we still have a good ways to go (24 chapters, in fact). Thank you all for the comments and support. Always deeply appreciated.

Cheers

Dear readers,
The gang returns home after their relaxing visit to the beach. It's back to school as spring creeps over the mountains and new plans grow. Chapter 32 kicks it off, tomorrow.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Dear readers,
Part III of the novel, entitled Horizon Lines, begins posting tomorrow. The kids take a much needed spring break trip to Montauk for some rest and relaxation by the sea. We enter the heart of the book now.

The posting rate will go a little faster from here on out, with 4 or 5 chapters posted per week until the story ends. Feedback and critique, whether positive, indifferent, or negative, is all welcomed: please help me become a better writer. I appreciate anything you take the time to send me, whether through email, the comment section, or through my Discord server. I hope the book continues to stimulate!

Cheers

Dear readers,

Part I is finished. So far, there have been introductions and many seeds planted in the Prologue and Part I. Tomorrow Part II of the story will start posting (Ch. 15). Based on comments from early readers, this book is much more intense than the first two, so fair warning going forward. There are 60 chapters in total. It will certainly require some trust in the characters at times. As always, I appreciate all critique, suggestions, flames, and if the story connects with you in some way, I certainly would love to hear about it. I do reply to everyone who writes me directly.

Cheers

Dear readers,
Chapter 6 is the start of Part I, entitled Shell Game. The Irish twins join Matt and Lara for the second half of the school year. Enjoy.
