I have submitted the final chapter (15) of Book 5 -> Mike and Tempe's NIS Week. There is very little actual NIS activities other than the ending Halloween concert experience. There are also some key items that will be developed in the FINAL Book of this series (at least I believe it will be the last Book).
I have just finished the first chapter of Book 6. I hope to get one chapter finished per week based on my crazy word schedule. Additionally, I probably will hold off submitting Book 6 chapters until I have at least 5 or 6 in the hopper. Therefore, this will probably be my last submission 'till mid-to-late April.
For those readers who haven't been a fan of the NIS angle, Book 6 will obviously still have some NIS aspects (band challenge, concert, as well as some possible isolated events involving Mike's friends -> Cano, Elizabeth, Kalena, Brad or a few other 'minor characters'). Please realize that there won't be any of the typical NIS fare that follows specific students for their complete week in Book 6 (even I've had enough of that 'focused' NIS type angle).
Thanks for reading all these Books/Chapters. Please keep on letting me know what you think or if you see any obvious screwups, which are all on me.
