I just posted the first chapter of Hickory Run. There are 26 chapters.
RTF files, mobis, epubs, and PDFs are available from the Spearfish Lake Tales Store Hickory Run page. Sales on Lulu for hardcopies, epubs and PDFs have also been enabled.
Preorders have been shipped. If anyone preordered a book and didn't get it, please e-mail.
Very often when I put up a new story there are html bugs that don't show up when I tested it locally. I usually stay around until around midnight EST to deal with any of those issues that you bring to my attention, or to ship out orders that have come in.
Have fun reading Hickory Run!
-- Wes

Great follow up to Down by the Riverside.

Same thoughts here about "Hickory Run", great follow-up to "Down by the Riverside".
Nanci has more than a bit of the devil in her, doesn't she?
I'm 90 pages into the volume and very happy with the book.

Minor bug: right now, the bottom link to Chapter 2 is showing, throwing a 404 error. Not a big deal, but it's there.
On the other hand, I do appreciate some of the "back story" to the introduction. I suppose in her own right, Nanci started as an incomplete character, too...

Hi Wes
In chapter 1
Nanci didn’t felt like it was something she really ought to push her friend about
probably "Nancy hadn't felt like..."
or "Nancy didn't feel like..."
But the way it reads now doesn’t feel right, or am I missing something? I am not a native English speaker.

Bonno Bloksma, you have good eyes. Originally, it was "Nanci hadn't felt..." For some unknown reason 'hadn't' was changed to 'didn't'. Also, my bought copy of the RTF version only has 24 chapters. I hope Wes has 2 bonus chapters for us.

I hope Wes has 2 bonus chapters for us. Didn't seem to be anything missing from the story, but yes, the RTF only has 24 chapters. I suspect Wes made an error in saying there were 26 chapters. If he didn't, what's in the missing chapters, and was it really needed? |

I knew there were only 24 chapters in the book. I was just teasing Wes a bit.
I'm wondering about the book cover. Is that a photo of a river in Kentucky and was Wes the photographer? It seems too green to be the Colorado River running through Grand Canyon.
Happy Thanksgiving to all U. S. residents and a pleasant Thursday to everyone else.

It's supposed to be in Kentucky, but I don't know if it is or what. It's just an image I found on the net.
And, Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it!

Good to see some old friends back. Wes, please dont take this wrong but it feels like you are a little more comfortable with these characters and this tale. I must confess the last few have left me a little luke warm, but that may be me too. I get a little down at times!
