Hi Readers-
Next Saturday will mark the last two chapters (and an epilogue) of American Teen. I want to thank everyone for the kind comments, advice and thoughtful criticism the story has gotten. Despite the story not being perfect, overall, I believe it has been very well received.
I want to thank my wonderful editors, TenDerloin, Old Rotorhead and Mr. Wolf. I would also like to thank my 'beta readers,' bigfoot227 and Conradca. These guys helped me to catch a number of goofy things that I missed or failed to correct when pointed out by my editors. Thanks again to all involved in this project!
As I have previously reported, this story is not the end of Tommy and his friends adventures. They will continue in American Teen 2: Freshman Year. I will ask for your patience, as the story is still a good deal away from completion. Then it will need to be edited and thoroughly proofread before I start to post it.
Now for housekeeping issues. There are a number of typos and small boo-boos in American Teen that need fixing and for posterity, I will get to those over time. I want to thank readers who reported them to me. As far as this batch of chapters, I've already found one. I guess nobody likes Mrs. Ransom, because so far, nobody has reported that I got her first name wrong (it should be 'Lavina' and Tommy referred to her as 'Eugenia.' I'll fix that one shortly (once I see if I've missed anything else from this latest batch).
Anyway, thanks again!!!
Aaron
