Chapter 11 is in the queue for tomorrow (Friday)evening. Sometime after 7PM Central time, but that's as close as I can predict.

Hannah decides that she wants to join the family, but there is a complication. Oh well...

My thanks to DB for pointing out my failure to follow through on a plot point. It is fixed in the one posted chapter, and I fixed future chapters and placed them in the queue. While I was at it, I changed the posting dates on some short chapters so that two will post on the same day. The first pair will post on Sunday.

I'm still learning the SOL system, so making changes concerns me somewhat. If anything looks screwy, please let me know.

Chapter 10 is in the Queue. Look for it sometime after 7PM today.

Walking down Highway 20, fears are validated as our team finds a number of burned out homes. The weather turns for the worst, and they are caught out in falling snow. They smell a whiff of smoke and investigate. Their adventure starts to get more complicated when they meet Hannah and Baby.


Folks, I'm told that there is a random glitch that occasionally dorks up story uploads. That happened with Don't Blame Me!, and over 100 people downloaded it before I found the problem. Please, if you see something that doesn't look right, let the author know. Thanks!

Okay - I checked the version now on line. It is fine. The version listed is v 1.1

Thanks for your patience.

Folks, In checking the story, I found some major problems with sentences switched around that do not match what I submitted. I will be taking down the story and re-uploading ASAP.

If you downloaded it, I suggest you re-download.

Even with the problems, the response has been great. I especially appreciate your notes.

One thing I never anticipated when I joined the Swarm Authors' discussion group, aka 'consortium,' was the nature and volume of discussions that fly around. These folks are serious about the Swarm Cycle stories. Dropping an idea, or even the hint of an idea, is like dropping a Mentos into a bottle of Coke. You NEVER know what will come out.


In this case, a comment by Duke Nukem, 3rd Aye, combined with Thinking Horndog's Surprise, Surprise! caused my story - Don't Blame Me!. It is in the queue and should post sometime after 7PM along with the latest chapter of The Times They Are A Changing.


One of you readers commented to me that I write non-Swarm-like Swarm stories. :)


Let me know what you think.
