Doug finished the first nine books of Living Next Door to Heaven Monday and started in immediately with "Where's Book 10?" Then I almost forgot to post it. But, the first four chapters of What Were They Thinking? are up as of today.
This includes the Prologue that sets the scene for what is happening. Don't skip it. It's part of the story. This is one of the rare instances in which I don't have the entire book finished before I start posting it. It is really a number of different stories told by some old people remembering what it was like to raise the kids that became The Clan of the Heart and Casa del Fuego on El Rancho del Corazon. The structure of the book looks like this:
Prologue
Marilyn Frost's Story, Chapters 1-12
Janet Anderson's Story, Chapters 13-16
John Clinton's Story, Chapters 17-24
Maria Davis's Story
Sly Cortales's Story
Anna Pratt's Story
…and others
Please note that this story may seem a little inconsistent with LNDtH1 and LNDtH2 on SOL as it uses the names and events of the published eBooks released to the public. See my previous blog post about the decision to do this (https://storiesonline.net/blogentry/44949) and please help yourself to reading the second edition books online at www.devonlayne.com/lndth.html. The first seven books are up now and can be read on my site for free. With luck, Book 8 will be up early next week. Updates to the eBooks will come along later in the year, after this project is stabilized.
There may be a break between posting of each of the Parts depending on how quickly the rest of the writing goes. Had to do a ton of work on the earlier books this month, which slowed progress a little. It's picking up again now.
Hope you enjoy the story. Voting won't be turned on until Part I has finished posting at the end of September but comments are available. If you have an idea of a parent you'd really like to hear from, please let me know. Minimal sex in this story because… parents.
