Chapter 2: Hopkinton

Chapter 2 is online at http://www.WebFeats.com/Transition/2.html.

The introduction of new characters continues at a furious pace. In this short chapter we meet Jill's coach and an as-yet-unnamed reporter, both of whom will play important roles in the story. (Not only do we meet them, they meet each other, with interesting results.) We also learn of Jill's incredible confidence... and by the time you finish the chapter, I'll bet you can guess the name of the company that sponsors her...

This chapter also introduces the artwork of David Kessel, whose style provides an interesting contrast to the illustrations that Jennifer Daigle contributed to the earlier chapters. Having no artistic talent myself, I'm constantly amazed by those who do, and I recognize how fortunate I am to have the visual appeal of my story so greatly enhanced by the contributions of talented artists like David and Jennifer.
