I just want to thank readers for the wonderful feedback I've received for American Teen. I marvel that something I wrote so long ago and was initially reluctant to publish has been so well received.
People have been asking about the sequel and unfortunately, I have nothing new to report. I am probably about two thirds of the way through, but then again, I'm not much further along than I was two years ago. I have some ongoing health issues which make it hard for me to focus for any extended period, so writing is a real challenge for me.
I will revisit my outline to see if I can shorten what I want to describe, as a tradeoff to publish sooner. If I can't achieve this without sacrificing the writing too much, it may be worth it. We'll just have to see how things go. In the meantime, I appreciate everybody's patience and understanding as In try to figure this out.
Incidentally, I'm aware that the epilogue of American Teen got tacked on to the end of Chapter 48. I've sent a fix and left a moderator note to clarify.
Thanks again to everybody who passed along their comments about American Teen. Your support and interest really made sharing Tommy Matthews's story a worthwhile endeavor.
