This is a novel I've been working on for a couple years. My computer was stolen in 2002, and I lost my only soft copy of the book, but I have a hard-copy. I now need to re-type what I had written, but, annoying as this is, I needed to revise the first draft anyway. To keep myself on a schedule, I am going to regularly post installments of the book here for your perusement and enjoyment.

Let me know what you think!

I would love some feedback! Either e-mail me at maren @ marens.com (re-type without spaces), or go to the OPSP website and comment on the Apollo's Pond comment thread under "Entertainment." Just so no one is disappointed, this whole thing is a work in progress, so it will probably suck at first, change dramatically, and then maybe become pretty good. Who knows?

I ask a couple things of people who want to comment on this work:

  1. Please refer to which chapter you are commenting on in the subject line of the post so I can find them for future reference.
  2. Please give me constructive criticism. If you like something, tell me what you like about it. Be specific about what you don't like, and then tell me how you wish it was written instead.

Thank You!
