Thank you so much, Nardos! As a matter of fact, I have 3 stories coming out this year from the boys' perspectives: Logan's will be out very soon ("Bridge," which appeared in an anthology a couple years ago but will be rereleased with bonus material); Zachary's novella "Shattered" I'm aiming for a summer solstice release (June 20ish); and Martin's short story (so far untitled) will be out late summer/early fall. Keep an eye on my blog here for details soon! :-)
