@LokiiIt used to be four books; however, Phil Brown has re-edited them into one cohesive book. I loved the originals, but I want to thank you for this question because I have not yet read the new version, and now I know what to do after I finish my writing. Tee Hee.
"Second Time Through" was great and all points turn to the new version to be even better as the story is focused.
Personally, I can't wait to be able to go into my story and make a better version for eventually posting for sale.
Enjoy a good re-read!
Phil Brown's "From the Journals of Michael Wagner" looks like a fun time for everyone to try again.
