Thank you readers for your response to The Homestead story line. I had 47 responses (I thought I would only get a handful at best). 44 responses want option 2 and of those, 33 wanted some variation of light punishment to go along with option 2. I agree.
I'm 8 pages into the story line. Not sure if there will be follow-on chapters. One question I was asked though, what about the local tribes in the area? The plains Indians weren't very welcoming of settlers traversing their lands. I'm going to introduce a local tribe of Ogallala Sioux into the mix. No fighting or anything. I see the family as needing protection because of their isolation out on the prairie. The problem will be handled with sex, but in a different way.
I should have the story line completed by the end of summer, maybe sooner.
I have five stories lined up for text to speech editing. That will take some time which will cut into the Homestead story writing. I'm still planning on dropping a story (or chapters on existing story lines) each week starting next month.
Be safe wherever you are, thank you for the responses.
Mary
