The first five hundred were lost in a polar bear attack.

I thought those were decoy seals?

Dammit! Left out of the loop again!

Really unexpected, but today, I did actually publish that last chapter in my ongoing novel, Peta. This brings the total chapters to 10, so far, aiming for two more acts of 10 chapters each.

Peta
Act 1
Chapter 1: “Married With Children”
Chapter 2: “Half the world away”
Chapter 3: “Trip Inside”
Chapter 4: “The Girl in the Dirty Shirt”
Chapter 5: “Soldier On”
Chapter 6: “Part of the Queue”
Chapter 7: “One Way Road”
Chapter 8: “Where did it all go wrong?”
Chapter 9: “Sad song”
Chapter 10: “Don’t look back in anger”.

Someone somewhere may notice a pattern with the chapter names, I hope…!

Hey their later albums were really good. Heathen Chemistry and Don't Believe the Truth are fantastic albums. And Noel Gallagher solo albums are some of my favorites, especially Chasing Yesterday.

Just so I don’t get this totally wrong for the third novel (after novel 1 was fleetwood mac song titles and novel 2 oasis) what group should I avoid?

.music taste is like writing, right? You write your story your way, that's what everyone here says. So write your story to whatever music you like, the way you want to tell it.

I was responding a bit tongue in cheek but - good!

Maybe Genesis or Pink Floyd next then…the difficult third album…I mean novel…

If you're looking for bands that are universally hated but still sold millions of albums, you can't go wrong with Journey or Nickelback.

Culture Club or any 90s boy band is also a possibility.

Saw Nickelback when they opened for Bon Jovi (my wife's favorite so I've seen him 8 damn times) and Kroeger was completely hammered and kept yelling up at Robert Kraft's box that he was cheap and didn't give them enough beer.

Musically I don't know what the issue is, they're a decent band in the genre, but the guy is a dipshit
