    Author Notes:

    Read all about it: He won’t make that mistake again

    He checked the Seattle Times Night Final edition to see if the news had finally come to life in print.

    Since he had started his project, he had learned more about the publishing of newspapers than most readers would know in a lifetime.

    The masses didn’t seem to know or care they were often reading old news from a newspaper printed up to a full day before it landed in their driveway. In fact, through a little research he had determined the Seattle Times published up to five different versions a day.

    When the paper decided to compete directly with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for morning readers, Frank Blethen, the publisher, needed to change his marketing strategy.

    For decades he had positioned the competing paper as “old news” since his afternoon paper could still push deadlines to publish same-day stories.

    Now that he was a morning paper as well, Blethen faced the same challenges. He invested millions in a state-of-the art printing facility that streamlined the actual production process.

    Now, the Seattle Times could receive news sometimes as late as noon and still get the story in the last edition of the day, earning them the claim of “breaking news” leader.

    The last edition of the day was only distributed in downtown Seattle, and didn’t have many readers but it still gave the paper “bragging rights” over the cross-town competitor. Since few metropolitan cities still have two competing dailies, any perceived advantage directly resulted in new readers.

    His favorite place to pick up the Night Final was right in front of the Seattle Times corporate offices in downtown.

    Situated in a low-level, antiquated brick building you’d never know it was the home of a major daily newspaper. But, he knew. If he timed it right, he could have his quarter in the coin machine shortly after it had been filled for the night.

    There was nothing like the rush he felt when his second story’s ink was warm and wet to the touch. It hadn’t been in the 2:30 p.m. edition, so his work had pushed the King County Executive to page two. His actions had inspired a major daily to stop and change the presses. He alone had changed the face of the news that day.

    1. Sox1 – Heard earlier today how long you were up last night then the site went to sleep. Anyway – I like this story evry much. Please post a wee bit more :P

    2. If you are not published yet, you will be after you submit this story, changing the names of course. It is compelling, tender, mysterious, romantic. It is all that you need to make a good book! Thanks for posting this additional chapter so soon.

    6. damm, this is fucking awesome, so he kills for his stories gotta love it, surprised he didn’t follow them to the house, I hope bette has some high tech things at her house.

    7. This is an amazing story. I love the dreamlike feel and the heightened emotions, both B and T slightly out of control, falling in love surrounded by dark circumstances. It’s romantic and dangerous. Really wonderful fic.

    8. Sox I have finally caught up with all of the chapters.This is a great story.I love mysteries myself.Glad to see you post here.I lurk over at TWOP and I enjoy your coments.Keep up the great work.

    11. I most definitely have to agree with Hopeful . this is, without a doubt, page turning book material. Even though
      you work in education (I think) you could have a career in this field if you wanted one … thanx for this great story –

    13. Really like this story and am eagerly awaiting the next chapters. Are you from Seattle? I am also in the aea and it is fun to have familiar names in the story.

    14. I have been reading your story from the beginning and I must say that it is very compelling. This particular POV is both chilling and insightful. Very foreboding. The details that you provide from the investigative , victim’s and the killer’s side is done perfectly, not too much information to muddy things up.

      I guess what does not kill them will only make them stronger?

    15. soxy this is damn good stuff. stories that lived alone. wow what a freak. wonder what those things are he needs to do *wringing hands*. going off to read next one.

    17. So its a guy. And to think T.K was so close to be being killed, creepy to think he was in her room. Again Sox, you are a super talented writer and thanks for sharing you skill with us.
