It wasn't long after our last creative collaboration that we soon knew that we just had to do another one!  The first attempt, It Came from Beneath the Bed, had been a comedy/horror story based around Halloween and was an instant success.  It told the tale of a young man named Jared, who purchased an old mansion which he would soon learn was haunted.  The story follows a mild Night Before Christmas approach with a terrifying twist at the end - you'll have to read it for yourself to find out what happens...

Even though the project ended up turning out great, we still felt that several things could've been changed to make it even better.  It had started out as a spur-of-the-moment, really-last-minute sort of thing, so we weren't able to get nearly as much involvement as we had originally hoped.  We knew that the next one could be planned out much better and then immediately tabled the idea for about six months!  Looking back at the calendar come springtime, we knew that it was about time to get moving on the project, and the rest is history.

A Tale of Two Summers was created much in the same way as its predecessor, with a few minor altercations.  Each chapter is written by a different author, whose only source material is the chapter which came directly before theirs.  That new chapter is then passed on to another writer, and so forth...the obvious difference this time around is that what we actually have here is two independent stories, so the writers technically only saw what was happening chronologically for their side of the tale.  It may sound a bit confusing now, but trust us - it's going to get much worse!

Due to the size of this beast, this story will actually be a work in progress throughout the summer.  As the tale will be appearing online in sections, it quickly becomes obvious that the writers of the later chapters will already know what has happened in the story - not fair, eh?  Well, after careful consideration and a deep desire to be able to release this before Christmas, we've decided that it should all work out for the best and hopefully it's availability online will help keep the storyline(s) somewhat understandable as we get farther on down the line!  Nevertheless, it's safe to say that the first ten chapters were written before the story was released, so that should provide enough confusion to tide you over...

We hope you enjoy our latest creation and look forward to working on the next one already...at least after a long vacation, that is!  Happy reading...
