Hot Springs WebNovel (in English)
The Hot Springs WebNovel is an innovative concept developed by husband Steve. Hot Springs is perhaps the world’s first WebNovel of its kind.  Foremost, the WebNovel Hot Springs is a stand-alone printed and bound work of fiction that can be read independently like any novel or book. At the same time, Hot Springs is also more. The companion website adds meaning, depth and color to the story, characters, and settings. This website is not just about reviews, interviews, or chat rooms but is instead a place where readers can find new and different aspects of the story, locales, and characters. Where novels are black and white, the Hot Springs website is about color, sounds, sights, and dimensions that black print on white paper can never match. As you click on one Chapter Weblink you’ll hear a song written and recorded by the lead character, Jason (with him playing and recording all the instruments, as well). On another you’ll see full-color paintings done by the character Kiriko. Please check it out.
