Waldo doesn't have anything on Milo this summer. His modeling career has taken flight, and so has Christian's little cousin. Spain, Italy, France, Los Angeles... What? Will Milo make a trip to East Harbor to visit his cousin and the Meijer boys?

It's been nearly a year since Michael and his mother moved to East Harbor. So much has happened and I'm happy you've been along for the ride. I know the story has expanded far beyond Michael and his brothers and I appreciate your feedback and wishes.

Stories are about conflict and drama, that's what makes them interesting. But you can't continually have the same character(s) in stressful situations. That's why having a group with various story lines makes it easier to have conflict without wearing out a character or making it even more unrealistic. That's why my plans to have mutliple East Harbor stories going on at the same time ended up with me merging them all into one.

There's a lot going on and as soon as Mason heads back to Mayfield, we'll be recapping what's been going with our other characters and the start of the school year. What's going to happen with the Isaac and the trouble with his siblings? Has Derek uncovered Jack's secrets? What's is Johann's next move and ultimate goal? What will Alex do now that Josh is moving to Kansas? How do the twins adjust to Mayfield Middle School? How do the members of the lunch table gang adjust to high school? How will Christian's tennis career proceed? What will Michael do without sports? How will the soccer team do without their star player? Will the new At the Majestic and Mason Johnson albums be hits? Does Agent Parker get transferred back to the San Diego office and move back to East Harbor bringing Gavin back to our story? And, the grand opening of the Majestic School of Dance.

So as we learn the fates of Josh, Isaac, Trajan, and others, the new school year in East Harbor has the same mysteries every school in the nation faces its first day. Who are the new kids?
