 New Year, book 1 prelude.

   This story was originally written as a single chapter short story.  It
became clear as I got to the end of the story on new years day that there
was more to be written.  Natalie wouldn't leave me, she kept coming into my
mind with new incidents and scenes.  Finally I surrendered and wrote
chapter 2.  Becky and Natalie then really set to, giving me more scenes
than I could think of.  I then set to and started to develop New Year as a
series.

   Whilst ASSTR was down I have set to and rewritten book 1.  I hope I have
cleared all the errors, mistakes and failures from my original writings.  I
am reposting the whole story both to ASSM and to my ftp site.

   YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!  The moderated story site or the ftp site you
downloaded my ramblings from is run totally by volunteers.  From the
authors to the editors and moderators, no one receives a penny for their
services.  However, it does cost money to keep the servers up and running
and to that end, if you enjoy what you read, how about considering a small
donation to help offset the costs?  It doesn't have to be much, every
dollar/pound/yen/euro helps.  Here's the link:
