Readers,
Chapter 23 is up. Basically, the action pivots around a girl’s trip to a family nudist resort in Georgia during Easter week. JoAnn gathers up the girls and with Donna driving the RV head to the nudist resort. I dig into Donna’s interesting family tree. The Millers and others join for a few days. Also updates from Bob in Iraq and Kevin and Grandpa Jim on safari in South Africa, a secret revealed. The action starts with a scene at the end of WW II in Germany then moves to 2006. At the core is Kristy’s story as she reads the diary of a young German girl, where she confesses all sort of things, as she deals with her own conflicting emotions.
This is meant to be a two chapter mini arc with 23 setting up further spicy fun and drama in 24.
I used AI tools to speed up the research and editing process. But still, I did all the writing, and my editor Steve was on it, we edited as I finished scenes, speeding up the process. No real danger yet that AI will replace story tellers as it lacks the creative spark and the levels of ‘ethical censorship’ is still a hinderance to creativity.
Enjoy. I think lovers of WW II history will especially enjoy this chapter’s early scenes and the next chapter.
