Rewriting “The Waterfall”
I have decided to rewrite what I have so far of The Waterfall. I am reducing Patty’s role in the series and will focus more on Fred and Murray’s teenage/college years. I will try to make more storylines about Justin, Kevin, Bianca, Alex, and James.
The Waterfall as is will still be available for a bit, but then, I have to take it all down and replace the chapters.
Thank you for understanding!

4th of July (and an update)


News about the 2021 Christmas Special
Mason and Eric will be postponed. I will come up with an alternative, most likely a short story, that will premiere on December 23rd.
My Apologies!
Whoops!
If you are subscribed to SLS on WordPress, you may have gotten an email showing you the first chapter of my new story, The Waterfall.
However, that was not supposed to be seen by ANYONE until August 1st at 4:30 PM PST. It was accidentally published due to an error on my part. Please do not share the story!
The Waterfall Ch. 1, now that the scheduling is fixed, should premiere on the above date, like planned, on Tapas, Wattpad, and here. The following chapters will be uploaded on Sundays on Wattpad and Tapas, but not here. Sorry about that, but I don’t want to crowd the homepage with all the chapters of my longer stories.
Sorry about the mixup!
If you are not yet subscribed to this blog, please do, but also, please read the first chapter of The Waterfall on Sunday!
If you are subscribed, and received the email with the first chapter, then please, again, don’t share it! Let it be our little temporary secret 😉.

“Cascades Stories” is now “Six Lakes Studios”
Welcome to Six Lakes Studios!
I am changing the website up, but the same content will still be posted. The name is new, the Logo is new, the design is… in progress [insert awkward chuckle].
I felt like the name “Cascades Stories” was too limiting even though a story could mean many things, it feels like it describes just written stories. But that’s not all we have!
So, why Six Lakes Studios? Well, I thought hard to find a name that meant something to me. Then I remembered: I have a lot of memories surrounding lakes, especially the Lakes of Lakewood. One thing I remember best from my childhood is driving over the bridge in Interlaaken, Lakewood, over Lake Steilacoom, in my grandma Marliss’ van, whenever we went to the donut shop. May she rest in peace.
The new logo is a trace I made of Lakewood’s six biggest lakes: American, Steilacoom (“Still-uh-Come”), Gravelly, Louise, Waughop (“Wah-Op”), and Carp. I originally had Secqualitchew Lake on there as well, but then remembered that it’s on Fort Lewis in Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I was actually wanted to rename the site “Lake Media,” but a quick internet search told that name was already taken (Thanks, Bing!).
I wasn’t planning to do the name change so soon, but things will be picking up soon, and I want to get the ball rolling. We need more good things right now, after the shaky first year-and-a-half of this damn decade.
I hope you enjoy the new site!

I apologize, but Tales of Human Nature will be postponed until further notice. The story needs a lot of work.
