OVER THE SEAS, PART TWO (May 15st, 2009)

We interrupt this Serial with breaking news: Author Pete Tzinski is currently being held captive by Nazis in a small Nevada town devoid of Internet access. As soon as Rocket Johnny can free him from the clutches of evil (and SPF 9,000) he will return and post the next installment. Stay tuned for further updates!

Anyway, part two (of three) of Over the Seas is now online. I hope you like it. And now, rather than write lots more newsy things, I have to go write episode 3 frantically. My buffer has vanished.

Also: from the 24th of May, through about the 9th or 10th of June, I'll be on the road, exploring the country and having hilarious and unlikely adventures with my wife and child, on our way out west for a family thing. Episode three will go up as scheduled, I'll just have someone else putting it online. So no worries.

Right. Off to write. Enjoy the episode!

EDIT TO ADD: And then, I discovered that during the course of me writing the above news update...the whole entire house internet network went down and wouldn't come back up. Suddenly, I couldn't update the episode at all. The Gods have a sense of humor and they leaned down and went "watch this, it'll be hilarious." Grumble. So sorry that this took even longer to get up.

EPISODE ONE, SERIES PREMIERE (May 1st, 2009)

Hello big wide world full of people! And welcome to Rocket Johnny, a World War II serial. And a fantastic tale of super-science! (or 'scientifictionals' as the kids are calling it these days). Rocket Johnny will have a new episode on the 1st and the 15th of every month. So tune back in.

First up, we have the pilot episode, Over the Sea. It's a long, three-episode story, of which you now have the first part to read.

As all of this is very definitely a work in progress, I hope you let me know if you come across anything that doesn't function, or doesn't function well. I'm still working out the Kinks. Seriously, they were very flabby. (Do you get it?). And I know that having an all-HTML site is probably primitive by today's standards, but...well, it's what I know how to use. So for now, it'll function. Later, maybe we'll make something so desperately snazzy, you feel like you're cheating on your loved ones every time you view it.

Also, that BUY WAR BONDS banner to your left is going to be a PayPal button. As soon as I figure that out. So when it is, feel free to click on it and make me so wealthy that I can have a disdain for my readers. Or something. Right. Off I go to continue working on future episodes.

Read! Enjoy! Return! Etc!
