I may be jumping the gun here but I need a beta reader as I've never written in this style before. It's a Frank Solo story thus Joe is quite out of the picture. Thus, Joettes may find this story very boring.<br><br>A teaser- this is a prequel to Homecoming and Psychdelic Hollow.

It's, how do I put it, more Fairytale and yet not quite?

Callie is going to be in it, she's just not going to be dating Frank until somewhere near the latter part of the story, perhaps the last, but this is more of a relationship story, nothing kinky of course.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON... ]]></description>
