Out of the Blue 6. The Seachange Series

   (4 reviews)
Genres: General Fiction,
banners portrait 200w.png

Life is filled with surprises. We are constantly reminded that we are at the mercy of the universe; from the people we meet, to the events that shape us, to the places we find ourselves in. If we are among the lucky ones we will find our place in the world, and someone to share it with, and life will be sweet. But even then, everything is subject to change, and we either roll with the flow, or find ourselves fighting against the tide, because you just never know what might come at you from out of the blue.

Another ripping yarn from the "pen of the pony", part of the Seachange series.

Mark introduces several new characters, one in particular around whom this story is centred. There are lots of laughs and some profoundly sad events, so much so that this story provoked outbreaks of "hay fever" worldwide amongst its readers. 

As is the case with all of @Mark Ponyboy Peters stories, the characters are very well drawn and believable, the storylines entertaining and sometimes very suspenseful, and the quality of the writing top notch, thanks in no small part to his ever-reliable beta reader and editor @MJC.

If you have ever read any of Mark's stories you know what to expect. If you have not, do yourself a favour and invest the time in reading this one, which will likely encourage you to read more.

Response from the author:

@Summerabbacat thank you very much, Molly!

A delightful mix of new characters and old friends that we have enjoyed for so many stories.

A new protagonist that comes from such a different background but finds his life in the midst of our usual friends and their families.  

You would not really have to read the previous Seachange stories, but they would definitely be beneficial to understand some of the minutia and background information that comes out in certain areas.  That said, this is mostly the story of a new protagonist and his fitting into these established settings.

Don't want to say too much so that any surprises are maintained.  Sit back with a lovely glass of tea and perhaps a scone or two and enjoy this newest story in this delightful saga.

Response from the author:

@centexhairysub thank you very much!
