comicfan Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Okay ladies and gentlemen I give. Jonas was put on the back burner when my father went into the hospital two years ago. Truthfully, once he was shelved I wasn't really sure I wanted to finish him. However, there are people who were reading the story and they weren't about to let me forget Jonas. In the last month I have gotten no less than four messages asking me to finish this story. So here is the news. As of right now I have a new editor willing to take on the story. I have two chapters that are written and ready to go. I simply am waiting on a beta reader to get this thing going again. So yes, this hasn't been forgotten. If I can find a beta we can have the first chapter out hopefully within a week or two at most. -Wayne 4 Link to comment

comicfan Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 So waiting till after Midnight so I can post the new chapter. I figured it was something of an Easter miracle so might as well let you enjoy it. 1 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Can't wait - this is one of my favorite stories, I love the mixture of reality and fantasy. 1 Link to comment

comicfan Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Sorry, big behind due to upcoming wedding of my best friend and death. Actually was writing tonight. Link to comment
comicfan Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just so people don't think I abandoned Jonas. My editor has the chapter now. Hopefully before Monday it will be out. Sorry, things have been a bit rough on my end lately. Trying hard to play catch up. Link to comment
Irritable1 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 yay! I was wondering about Jonas today. Link to comment
comicfan Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Chapter 13 is with the beta even as I write this. I am nearly done with 14, yeah the muse is working and afraid she is going to get pissed off if I ignore her for even a minute. So looks as if Jonas is going to expand to at least 20 chapters. No way I can pull off what I want as it is shaping up. Just thought I would let anyone interested know what is going on. Link to comment
Slytherin Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yes, that sounds great. Is your muse's name Fire ? Link to comment
Aditus Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 At least 20 chapters? Wow, sounds good to me. Link to comment
comicfan Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 So I just finished and sent Chapter 15 to Billy. It is a bit longer than the rest but figured I needed to move the story along and give it some growth. I am hoping five chapters more but might be a bit more. Depends on how it goes getting the rest of this out. Thanks for standing by Jonas. This hasn't been the easiest story I've gotten out but I promise to get it completed. 1 Link to comment
Daddydavek Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 It may not be easy, but it has a delightful cast of quirky characters and is one of my favorites that you have written. I am looking forward to see where it goes! Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) I'll second Dave on this and add that we'll wait patiently no matter how long it takes for you to complete the story. Please include lots of interaction between Jonas and his boss, Jonas and the people (and things) coming through the door, and Jonas and the blueskinned man we know is in his future Oh and why don't you ask readers to come up with wishes for items which you can use in the story? I'm sure it's difficult to make a long list out of the blue, and it would be fun to see what other people would want. I'll start: One magical flash light which never runs out of battery An invisible and intangible leash which lets a dog roam but pulls him back when called Magical boots which prevent me from falling head first into a muddy ditch looking forward to the next chapter.

comicfan Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Lol. Cute list Tim. I take it you either are on a farm or just have luck like my own. Link to comment
DynoReads Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hmm, wishes: a cookie jar that when the lid is opened, tells who all has been in it self-making bed sheets 1 Link to comment
