I am getting caught up some, thanks for the comments on the previous chapter.

This chapter is the continuation of where I took a trip with Linda. Some new people will be introduced, I think you will enjoy. Thi...
Prologue: 21st April 2013 My name is Jim Baines. Born in Nottingham, England, October, 1978. White. Male. Thirty-four years old. Eleven stone, six pounds as of last Saturday. Five-feet eleven.

I intended this one as a nice long summer read with a lot of characters and a lot going on. It might be better not to try to read it all in one sitting.

A novel by Christopher Scott Wagoner - "Damn you," Steve said, squinting his eyes to slits "you don't belong here. I'm going to to get rid of you, no matter how much it hurts." His fingers closed on the strand of wet, slippery gray hair. He yanked his arm downward but the pale invader's coat of moisture proved too much for his grip. Cursing, he tried seve...
