Red Lemonade takes a different approach to publishing. Want proof, you say?
The texts of our published titles are here for you to read, in their entirety. No lame limits. Really!

Swayback

Swayback
If a robot makes you love it, is it alive?
A story about a boy who finds a little robot hidden (or hiding?) in a forgotten hardware closet of his office building. He sneaks it little treats of spare parts, cares for it, even begins to fall in love with it. The robot builds itself up, becomes more advanced, becomes a "she." Then one day people come looking for her. People who want to take her away, who want to use her. People who are afraid of her, and what she could mean.

Lots and lots of edits and revisions, also split up a chapter and did some re-ordering. I also decided to just go ahead and start the book out with these chapters, so no more explanations needed!
I've started a Tumblr to document/collect the material that contributes to my subconscious ideas for this story, including the song that started the whole thing. Check it out here: http://sw4yback.tumblr.com/
New full chapter is up! "Cross-passages" is definitely longer than the previous chapters, but it's broken up into three parts. Enjoy!
