Even though I consider The Transmogrification of Jacob Hopkins to be one very long story (probably about 200 chapters), I'm releasing it as separate books in a series. Book 1: Double Take ended Sunday and yesterday I started posting Book 2: Double Time.
Double Time continues the story of Jacob and his friends literally from minutes after Double Take ends, and goes through his sophomore year in high school. There are new things happening to Jacob. He's encouraged to run, gathers more girlfriends into a pod as they learn more about the National Service, and stretches his playing on the guitar.
Breaking the series into book-length units gives readers convenient points to opt out when they grow tired of the story. And people do grow tired but worry that they will miss something if they don't keep reading. If you are in that group, put the new story aside in a bookmark and come back to it in a few months.
The chapters and parts, however, are numbered consecutively through the whole story, so Double Time begins with Part V: Reincarnation, Chapter 48. There are 51 chapters in Book 2 and it is all uploaded to post every three days through October.
Both Double Take and Double Time are available as Kindle and ePub eBooks, but Amazon has declined to release it. As a result, if you'd like to get the eBooks, you need to send $5 to me via PayPal with an email address where I can send the link. Send me a feedback message to this post if you'd like to get either book and I'll send you the link. Sadly, I can't put the link in my blog post or the post won't show up in the front page feed.
I appreciate your comments and votes on the story. J-Hop is standing by to respond to any questions you have for him. Otherwise the forum is open.
