Introducing Hazy Days And Cloudy Nights, A Sovereign Era Ongoing Weekly Serial

I’m excited to present (via the Selznick Serials imprint of MWS Media) a new ongoing weekly serial fiction project: Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights.

The debut arc, “How It All Got Started,” is available for free exclusively on Wattpad, the social reading and writing platform for the web and mobile devices.

New installments post every week; the inaugural installment is available right now! You should go and read it, add it to your Wattpad library, vote it up, share it, and leave your comments! And when you become a member of Wattpad (also free), be sure to follow me there so we can be pals, too!

What Is Hazy Days And Cloudy Nights?

Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights is an ongoing weekly serial set in my Sovereign Era storyworld. That’s the same milieu as my novels Brave Men Run and Pilgrimage, my short story “The World Revolves Around You,” and the anthology The Sovereign Era: Year One.

The Sovereign Era is an alternate history wherein the sudden appearance in the last decades of the twentieth century of individuals with remarkable powers and abilities forever changes the course of human destiny.

Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights opens just under a year before the commonly recognized beginning of the Sovereign Era and features a cast of characters adjusting to life on the edge of adulthood.

Fans of Brave Men Run and Pilgrimage will recognize Lina Porter, Claire Glick, Carson Meunetti, Eric Finn, and other supporting and secondary characters from those books in Hazy Days… but in this ongoing weekly serial, the supporting characters take center stage!

Here’s how the serial is described on its page:

Their friendships endured for twenty years and more. Wherever life took them, they carried each other in their hearts, in their memories, and in the shadows of their dreams.

They did their best to live and love and grow through the epic, unprecedented years at the end of the twentieth century.

If you ask Car or Lina, Alex or Crystal, or any of their friends, lovers, rivals and peers, they’ll say their story began in the middle of the eighties, in those hazy days and cloudy nights in San Clemente, Laguna Beach, Dana Cove, Abbeque Valley and all those little beach cities and planned communities in south Orange County, California.

With clarity and perspective earned through time and experience, each would point to their own particular moments when childhood at last began to blend into tentative, stumbling adulthood, and their lives got going at last.

There’s a lot that came before, and plenty after… but this is how it all got started.

This Sounds Familiar..?

Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights originally appeared five years ago in a slightly different form on the website of the same name.

This new run of the ongoing weekly serial is updated to fit perfectly with official Sovereign Era canon. Each installment has been re-edited and, in some cases, re-written.

Whether you remember the original Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights or you’re learning about it for the first time, I hope you’ll head over to Wattpad and allow me the privilege of telling this story!

Enjoy This Ongoing Weekly Serial

If all goes well with “How It All Got Started,” I’ve got at least two more story arcs I’d like to serialize: “Water Huskies,” and “My Sovereign Year.” It all depends on whether or not “How It All Got Started” is well-received.

It’s up to you! Get on over to Wattpad, vote up the ongoing weekly serial, leave your comments and feedback, and spread the word!

I think you’ll enjoy Hazy Days and Cloudy Nights. I’m excited to hear what you think!
