Soon the next independent story in the Country Boy series will be posted. And finally, some things in the now nine independent stories I have written will start to make sense.
And yes, "Country Bot in the City" has been planned for months now. And much of the short stories were written to fill in the almost decade long gap between the two (three including Valley Girl).
The Honey Silver series to not only introduce another character, but to give a little more context in what Linda did between the times she stopped acting and finally left Rocco.
Degüello's to give some more background on what happened to Linda when she was with the biker gang. Introducing more of the members and much of what she actually went through that she did not go into details about.
Maiden Deception, to see how she has improved, and that her relationship with her and Mandy (as well as Pete) has largely recovered from where it had once been.
Then the next being Michael Glushitel, which actually falls into the middle of the next story. Which actually answers some question sin it (and the next answers some questions in Michael's story).
Finally, "It's Positive". Which I just posted, and should be available soon. Mostly taking place at some time after "Maiden Deception", and giving a farther update into what Linda has been up to.
Which was needed, because in Chapter 2 of "In the City", George finally meets again his "Aunt Linda". And part of that might not make sense without reading at least "It's Positive".
And yes, that is how far ahead I often think when writing stories like this. Degüello's was written because I wanted to include more of the story of the bikers from their point of view. More details about them other than just "Xavier and Bulldozer" and some others.
Then as should be obvious to many, following a month later by posting "Michael Glushitel". Showing the vengeance that Pavel has unleashed upon the bikers once he learns exactly what they had done to Linda.
With Peter he seems like a jovial and nice man, but as I had hinted strongly in Linda's story, he has a very dark side that he hides from most. Which will actually in a way be concluded in "It's Positive".
And I like how I can now layer my stories in this series. If one thing I learned when I started to tell both "Country Boy, City Girl" and "Valley Girl" at the same time, it is that I can tell the exact same thing from two points of view. Or better yet, lay the foundation for one in one story, then pick it up in the other.
