I can almost predict part two, but I'm still eager to read it.

Hello, Joan. I am so glad you liked this part of Out of the Frying Pan. Marla and Haylene turn out to be perfect partners, having all sorts of questionable unladylike adventures on the road. The quick link to part 2 is right at the bottom of part 1, if you are interested.

I-75 South is always a good choice if you ask me. Glad to see Marla and Haylene again. Does this mean the saga continues?

I would love to write a new adventure. It is long overdue. I have succumbed to sloth, but there is a chapter forming in my head where they go to the desert southwest of Vegas to take part in land sailing races... hmmm...

Every runaway kid needs a Haylene to pick her up. I love these stories.

I think they are our dream day sister who lead us vicariously to adventures we wish we could have.

You have that exactly right. Haylene and Marla get to say and do things you and I only dreamed of doing. Our alter egos.

Hah! Not quite. They have misdemeanor adventures and romances in Key West and New Orleans and Fort Myers and Vero Beach as their road trips continue.

I love New Orleans, was done there this spring again. The only exciting thing that happened to me was I got stung by a wasp.
