The next book from Spearfish Lake Tales, Starting Late, is now available for preorder. Here's the summary:

The single mother of two young teenage girls is killed in a strange auto accident and the only family members able to keep them out of a foster home are Mark and Jackie Gravengood, near-retirement-age grand uncle and aunt, who never had kids of their own. The instant family has two very different girls, one big, athletic, and outgoing, the other small, shy, introverted, and studious. Mark and Jackie have to learn about kids, and the two girls have to learn about country and small-town living while everyone has to go through a difficult time in their lives.

Over the years several people have suggested a story that brings us up to date with Mark and Jackie. Their adventures are not yet over; though they're pushing sixty, they're got interesting times ahead of them. This book is twenty-one chapters.

You can preorder Starting Late for as little as $19.99 through the Spearfish Lake Tales Store at or through the web page. Preorders will be sent sometime on the afternoon of April 14, Eastern Standard Time.

Any advance info as to the family tree of the characters?

Not really, although we haven't seen the kids before.

Unless this is far-future, we know that Jackie (Archer) Gravengood doesn't have any nieces of the appropriate age.

Unless something happened to honorary niece Susan McMahon-Langenderfer and somehow Mike & Kirsten couldn't step up, which seems unlikely, it sounds like the unfortunate niece is probably a Gravengood. And I don't recall much about the family other than knowing that Mark's father Phil was also a private pilot.
