This is an interactive blog with postings about short story fiction written by David Alan Lucas. This blog is updated weekly with the status of the novel and commentary. Comments are welcome and may turn into the next blog topic. However topics like “What is going to happen next?” will only be answered with a “cat that ate the canary” grin. The rules of this blog are simple. 1. Use common sense 2. Be polite to other posters 3. While I am not offended by profanity, I do reserve the right to edit it out of an comments left behind. This blog is intended to reach a wide audience (translate to mean pre-teens, teens , and all of us over 21-regardless if we have actually become adult or not) 4. I will not tolerate any racial or anti-anyone’s religion remarks. As you should have just read, this is intended for all audiences and that includes cross cultural as well. 5. HAVE FUN and POST Replies.
