@zeiszler - Sons, NYC, and Postcards are the closest to the Lit versions because they were rewritten for Lit in 2023-24. Being more recent writing than punks, the 2025 rewrite was light. 
            
            Punks was written first on Lit, out of order, the oldest writing, with errors and story issues that had to be fixed. Also, in writing the chronologically previous series on Lit, I had to make changes to sync the books. 
            
            So, Venice had many changes in the late chapters to stitch it to AA, and Anxiety is a massively rewritten Lit Punks. When I reach 1998, the end of what was Punks, there will be over 100 chapters of what was 37 on Lit. I went wild creating new story lines.
            In the next book, I'm bringing in real-life celebrities to the story as Joe makes friends in the business. 
            
            Thanks for reading and your interest.

Read them all on lit.  But found the first series out of order.  Followed you around the publishing site and ended up here.  Read about childhood friends, first band, garage with pops and his friends death.  
            
            Side track to watching detectives when that was published.   Will keep with that series too.
            
            Was just thinking and order list to pass on to friend to try the stories.  Did you make changes to young punks or sons when you migrated to here?

@zeiszler - -- Oh, man. I had no idea. I thought you had already read through them all. Now, I must assume you have not read ATYP Sons of Providence and ATYP NYC.
            Those first two books were once the All The Young Punks series on Lit. 
            
            The foundation of everything Joe is told in ATYP. His family life, the childhood trauma, therapy, the first band, the betrayals, and his first go-round with Tina all shape who he is today. So much about Joe is revealed in the early chapters that explain his later actions, you should start from chapter one of Sons of Providence. I am fond of the opening scene with Dr Nichols. The day I created Barbara's character, just a few years ago, changed this story, making it more introspective, getting into Joe's mind. I also like the first scene with his family. Any revealing scene is a favorite of mine.
            
            Of course, I am terribly biased. I know this story inside out and front to back. I could go on and on about what I'm proud of versus my swings and misses. With this tale, I have trapped myself in a chronological story. I hope to someday break free from the chronology and write short stories that occur anywhere on the punk timeline; Joe at age 20, age 40, and age 60, jumping around in a Punk Time Machine.
            
            I have a scene written with Joe and his two college-age children trapped at home with their parents during the pandemic, which is driving him nuts. I love it, but that's 23 years in the future from what I'm writing today. The only way to publish that is to skip ahead in the Punk Time Machine.
            
            Sorry this got rambly. It's what I do.

@decker1951 - I'm nearly done with the first draft of my detective sequel. I'm in the home stretch and I like what I have so far. That won't be published for some time.

@BigEvol -- I am seeing comments made long ago that I don't believe I acknowledged. Wattpad is very basic, but somehow I have not figured everything out. 
            
            I'm glad you found it. I hope the Punks 2025 rewrite is living up to expectations.  There's much more to come. Thanks for reading and for following me. Most readers will not click on that follow button. Grrrr.

Sorry. Wattpad

@kunjettan --- My fiction writing is my escape from the hellhole of aerospace manufacturing, NADCAP, and the primes like Boeing who tell small companies like us how we should run a machine shop. At the same time, the corruption and incompetence at Boeing are CRIMINAL. They killed two planes full of passengers after a cover-up, and no one went to prison. Meanwhile, I forgot to sign an MOT, and it was like I had murdered the gear-spline I had just machined with a .0002 profile tolerance, a perfect first article on a short production run.

@kunjettan You have really missed out by not reading his Punks series. I always want more from him.
