Regan Stone’s Journey Continues
Sally Henson
December 2, 2016

School has begun. Regan and her friends settle into a crazy routine . . .

This picture is taken from the parking lot of Regan’s school, where those lucky enough to have a car to drive park. That is the door to the gymnasium. The same gym Regan and Tobi play volleyball in.

Good news! Book number two is coming along well. Regan, Lane, Tobi, Haylee, and Cameron’s lives are unfolding before mine. When I write, I have a game plan. I’m not a pantser, a writer who sits down with no planning and starts typing away as the story unfolds on the page before them. I like to plan the story leaving room for changes. Sometimes the character doesn’t want to go the exact route I plan and I have to make a detour. And that is okay, it makes the story more exciting that way.

SUMMER’S END LAUNCHES TOMORROW!

Here is your last sneak-peek and it’s a good one.

Chapter 18 . . .

“Regan, I know you think I’m good at telling you what
I’m thinking and how I feel about you, but….” I reach my
free hand to his arm and squeeze, holding on tight, leaning
my head against him as we continue to stroll. “I’m scared
of what tomorrow brings. Worried I might fail, that I won’t
be able to handle the classes and all the people . . . afraid
of being away from home, from you, from what I know
and love….” We stop and he turns toward me. “I don’t want
tonight to end,” he chokes out.
Softly I agree, “Tonight’s been the best night of my life.”
My voice is a little rough too, and I’m tearing up. I slide
my arms up and around his shoulders. “I don’t want you to
leave.”

I greatly appreciate your help in this launch process. As always, please let your friends know about Summer’s End and share on your favorite social sites. Book two is already in the works as we continue to follow Regan’s life.

Day 10 — The Countdown Begins

Count down to October 11, 2016, aka, Release Date for Summer’s End.

Follow along this week as we reveal excerpts of Summer’s End along the way.

Regan, from chapter one:

This group of five came about my freshman
year, when expectations came at us like a tsunami. It’s not
without difficulty. There are three females with hormones
and menstrual cycles and two boys with erratic intervals
of surging testosterone. We have some rules of friendship,
though. The first and foremost, no gossiping. Gossipers are
lowly creatures that dish out half-truths and lies trying, to
make themselves feel better about who they are. Second, no
back-stabbing. Back-stabbing could be construed as gossip,
but we see it as one of the highest forms of betrayal. Third,
no dating within the group. This prevents hard feelings that
just aren’t necessary.
