Boy, did I blow it last night when I posted an old version of Chapter 13 that had not been edited. I have posted the correct chapter for your enjoyment.

I have been posting on StoriesOnLine for sixteen years. I have not read Lazeez's posting guidelines in ages. Apparently they have changed since I posted "Drive for Excellence" featuring a thirteen-year-old Andy losing his virginity and "Innocence Lost" with almost thirteen-year-old Hunter going all the way with a neighbor girl.

I redid the order of the scenes in Chapter 13 to something more logical: Danny and Emma Saturday afternoon, followed by Jessie and Matt Saturday evening and then David and Sara's first date. I toned down the happenings in Danny and Emma's encounter, hopefully bringing it into compliance with Lazeez's guidelines.

I fixed the formatting error in Chapter 10. Hopefully the correction will be posted shortly.

Thank you to everyone who has written me about this story. I am not able to answer all of you, but thank you just the same.

I have turned on voting for the story. I hope everyone is enjoying it. I discovered I made an error when I numbered the chapters. The complete Book 1 is eighteen chapters long, not nineteen as I previously stated.

Work continues on Book 2. Thankfully I am more diligent about backing up my work than last spring. My primary laptop died this morning. I have never seen text on a computer screen shimmy before. Then I had bursts of black rectangles all over the screen followed by a locked up computer. A hard reboot produced nothing but a black screen. I think that laptop is history. Thankfully all my files are located on a USB SSD drive, so I am able to pull the SSD drive from the dead laptop and plug it into my backup laptop and continue working.

I look forward to hearing from you as I continue to post Coming Home, Book 1.

The first chapter of Coming Home, my newest story, has been submitted for posting. It should be up later this evening.

I will post chapters Tuesday and Friday evenings until all nineteen chapters are posted. I will turn on voting in when I post Chapter 5, in a couple weeks.

This is the first Book of a two or three book series. Book 2 is about 75% done. I hope to post it in 2022.

I hope you enjoy my story.

I want to thank everyone who offered to help with editing my next story. I especially want to thank the two who are actively working on the editing with me. We are about two-thirds through Book 1 of Coming Home. I expect I will be ready to start posting soon. Currently I am planning to post Chapter 1 on Tuesday, August 10th. I will post new chapters on Tuesdays and Saturdays until I get the sixteen chapters posted, sometime in October.

Coming Home follows Kyle and Penny Martin and their kids, David, Jessie, Danny and Robbie when the move back to their Landenberg, PA home when Kyle accepts the head coaching job in Philadelphia.

Book 2 of Coming Home will follow. I hope to have it ready in about six months. It is around three-quarters written right now.
