I finished writing Opening Earth 3 and my pre-edit proof read. The unedited files are with my editor. After they come back, I will review and incorporate the edits. Then I will let the story sit for a short while so my memory is not fresh as to the content. By the time I finish my last proof reading, the last chapter of The Footlocker should be due to post. I will start posting OE3 the following Tuesday at intervals of 1 chapter/week on Tuesdays. This Part consists of the Introduction and 19 chapters.
The feedback I received from The Footlocker has been mostly positive. A couple of people were upset because they felt I thought the Nazis weren't villains. For the record, I believe the Nazi Party of the war years was an atrocious organization. The political party that became the Nazi Party was formed around 1920. It was just one of many German political parties formed at that time in response to the conditions resulting from the Treaty of Versailles. The Germans who joined those parties were typical of most Europeans. They had their likes and dislikes, but they weren't the evil beings that made up the Nazi Party of the 1940s. Enough said on that point.
I've started work on Time Scope Part 3. The first thing I did was reread Part 1 and Part 2 of Time Scope, and made a few changes. The changes are mostly minor edits and a couple of minor additions. It will be several weeks before I post the updated chapters. The changes aren't significant enough to warrant your rereading those Parts. I had forgotten portions of the story, so you may wish to reread it to refresh your memory of the story when I start posting Part 3.
I fixed one error in the plot. Think about the scene where Alicia receives a phone call about the check for the Power Ball ticket being ready for pick up. Jeb submitted the ticket so the Lottery Office would have called him, not Alicia - Opps, but it was an easy fix. I substituted Jeb for Alicia and changed subsequent references to him.
I will like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. For those who don't celebrate Christmas or the New Year, have a wonderful holiday season.
