Anyway, one of the books that I happened to find, was this one...
I was instantly addicted. As a matter of fact, Irene killed our power first thing Saturday morning and by bedtime Saturday I had finished this book and was looking for more. The last page of the book stated that the story continued at www.denvercereal.com. Of course, I was ecstatic! I was aching to find out what happened with Jill and Jake and the rest of the family. So, I figured, I'll grab the laptop and see what's going on. And then I remembered...Irene. That $%#%$ stole our power.
So, I did what any other sane person would do. I convinced my hubs that we HAD to go to the mall, charge the laptop, and find some free wi-fi, and because the power was out at home and he really didn't have a better suggestion, we went! :)
Long story short - this is what I found out. Denver Cereal started as a serial fiction. A daily installment on a blog. A chapter at a time. No planning on the author's part, she just wrote it as it came to her. And, now, 170 chapters later, it's still going. Lucky for me, the chapters that have fallen off of her blog have also been turned into books. And now, a few days later, I'm moving on to the blog to see what else is happening with all of my favorite peeps in Denver.
But in the interim, while we patiently (ahem!) waited for our electricity to return, I read these guys that I was able to download...at the mall...on the free wi-fi ;)
I'm amazed that these books were originally published in such small tidbits. Every once in a while I come across something that is a little confusing, and there are a LOT of characters to keep up with, but in general, this book is filled with lots of story lines that are creative, intriguing, and make you want more. So, if you have some time, (or you lose power for a few days), download these. Last time I checked, the first volume, The Denver Cereal, was a free download on Amazon and iBooks. Then, when you're finished come back and let me know what you think :p
