'End' of 'Summer'

Greetings. It has been years in the making and now it is time to end 'Summer Project', or at least and end to the begining 'book' . After much thought and several recent readers comments, I have decided chop-up the storyline into seperate 'book' sized chunks. What does that mean? It means that the current 'Summer Project' will end in the next several chapters (I am thinking around Chapter 20 or so) and begin again further down the time line.

What it doesn't mean is an end to the actual story. When I began writing this, I had a definate ending in mind and a few points to get to along the way. I have reached a few of those points and there are many more along the way as well as a mystery or two as the story develops (here's an example, the original working title was 'The Summer Before'.) I haven't decided on the title of the second book, but it will have 'summer' in the title. Perhaps some of you may have and idea.

I also need to work on 'On French Soil' and that story I need to be in the proper mind set. The plot is complicated and numerous characters fade in and out of the story line as it meanders to the climax. I also need to get into the period in terms of language and imagery so as to make it as believable as possible.

Other storylines need to be finished or a sequel added to them. Please let me know which ones you would like to see. Also, please add your comments to the consensual vs non-consensual survey in Fesseln's Fiction: September 2008 .

Take care and look for chapter 18 to 'Summer' as well as other stories.

'Summer Project' chapter 17

At long last, chapter 17 of 'Summer Project' has been completed and sent on it's way to various websites for posting. As for those who wished to be on the mailing list, please email me and I will send you a copy. My list has been overburdened with old and defunct addresses and updating it will take some time. Other things in the works include the sequel to 'Maid Service'. Time here is a bit limited so I hope that you will patient with me.
