Discussion

My humblest apologies for being so stingy with the updates.  This story has developed a life of its own and just seems to broaden its scope every time I sit down with it.  You might find a few edits here and there in the update, but mostly I’m taking this opportunity to add another day to our narrator’s journal, taking us all the way to the end of May and the proper beginning of summer.  I’m somewhere in the middle of June with my work at the moment, and tensions are really beginning to mount.  I hope you enjoy the sample you find here, and that you will share what you find with your friends who will also enjoy what they find enough to share it with their other friends, and so forth and so on.  Help me build enough momentum to propel us to the end of this Inkshares contest on July 15th!  Thank you for your support (and preorders)!

I REALLY like how the cover looks now.

Thanks for taking an interest in this project.  It’s developing into a pretty gripping story for me, and I really hope it can find an audience.  The best part of it for me is feeling like I’m looking through a window into my own childhood as I research and authenticate elements of this story.  I just posted an update with a revised prologue and the first three chapters, which might begin to give a better indication of the direction the story is taking.  I hope you like what you see enough to place a pre-order!  Let’s get this thing into the running in this Nerdist contest!
