Chapter 42 of Best Summer Ever has been posted. Gary asserts himself a little more with Morgan, does a solid for the rest of the cabana crew and meets a person of influence. Morgan is unsure early and becomes possessive later on. Dad offers his help when Gary is assigned chores.
I view the character of George Patterson as a man who only asks questions to which he already knows the answers. Gary doesn't quite get that. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.
Wednesday saw a bit of a bump in readership. It was past 190K downloads when I went to bed and is already approaching 192K this morning. The score has bumped up two ticks, briefly moving the story onto the Recent Top Scores list before sliding back out. I've hit 420 followers and added a new patron on Patreon. Things are looking up.
Chapter 62 is in the can and 63 is about 20-25 percent done. If I'll get my ass in gear, I may even get another one finished today. Thanks for all the support.
