I've heard from all three major eBook sites this morning and Photo Finish Book Two, Shutter Speed is now available for pre-order. On Bookapy, this includes the ePUB, MOBI, and PDF versions. The book will release on Thursday February 2, 2023.
Of course, I realize that means Full Frame will complete its posting on SOL tomorrow (Sunday) and I'm kind of sad to see that chapter in my life close. I'm glad, though, that We'll pick up without a break on Thursday with the first two chapters of Shutter Speed.
I have seen fit to post a trigger warning on Shutter Speed, something I rarely do. No one of my generation was unaffected by the war in Vietnam and this story may hold triggers for veterans of that era with PTSD. The action is reported after the fact and not shown live, but the aftereffects are definitely a part of the story. Here's the blurb.
1966-67 was a pivotal year for Nate Hart. His family was uprooted from an unspectacular life in Chicago so his mother could begin her new career as a Methodist Minister in Tenbrook, a small northwestern Illinois town at the edge of the world. But Nate found his place in this new town, upsetting a few community standards where racism and veteran care were at issue. Now, ready to start his second year in the town and senior year in high school, Nate has a girlfriend or two, a studio for his photography, and a blossoming business. And the responsibilities that come with turning eighteen in 1967, as the Vietnam War ramps up under Secretary McNamara.
