Check in and let us know what you think!

Hey guys, I think the wrong people ended up together at the end of Reality Check so you all need to read it and finish it so I can convince you as to why!

Also, if Ethos Equinox is a book 2, will I be confused if I read it having not read book 1?

Good idea Martha. I'll get to it asap!

I also added Set Fire to Rain.

I know. I'll put Ethos Book I up there along with it.

I think I can't find two people who agree on how it should have ended, though I know a lot of people felt strongly about the ending that I wrote. :)

I plan to write a sequel within the next year. Would you want to read it?

It's tough commenting without giving away big spoilers. :)

I'm ready to talk! Tell me why. I had mixed feelings about the WHERE Lee/Leo ended. Although it certainly was a surprise ending!

Spoiler! The first draft ended BEFORE Silly Hat Dionne opened a portal to the Moon base. Lee ended up taking over for missing Leah and Moon Cecil, Earth Dionne and Lee/Leah formed a triad relationship. A few beta readers loved that, but most didn't. So that's why it went on from there.

Hmmmm So he ended on the moon in your first draft?

Well, like I said I half expected him to go back home so it's good he didn't. Leaves exploration wide open.

I always intended him NOT to go home, since a full circle would cast doubt on whether any of it was real in the first place. Also to keep the reader guessing, since I had that one chapter where he did go home, but had changed enough that he cared more about the welfare of others than his own happiness.
