Three Years of Fiction on Substack
Review and Preview
During the past three years, I have serialized two of my novels here on Substack:
The Water Is So Wide. A novella composed of a series of interconnecting vignettes that examine the persistence of love and art
Beautiful but Unlikely. A story of coming of age and taking the measure of a man in the late 1980s. Turning the inward gaze outward
. . . and have just now completed my third: Four Months in May. This week’s post steps back to review what’s gone before, giving readers a chance to catch up on posts they may have missed, plus a glimpse of what’s coming next.
Four Months in May. A quarantine fever dream. A love letter to resilience. An ode to energy, optimism, and a future as bright and scary as the unknown.
Up next:
Return to Oreana. Starting here, January 24, 2025.
Joanni Neiswender and the captain and crew of the Eridanus are reunited. Soon afterward, Captain Chipman receives a mission assignment from ISEA Command to head back toward Oreana amid reports of escalating threats to that planet from outside forces. The danger, in part, brought about by the renowned Oreanian arrogance.
Does time heal all wounds or merely create new ones? A tale of consequences, acceptance, and forgiveness. Starting January 24, 2025.

Julie- All very interesting pieces. My favorite being the Lion/pride piece. Very undulating yet decisive at the same time. Thanks.
