Editor's Note:
Life is getting serious, blurring the line between love and loss:It’s Toby Brown’s first birthday, and he’s not the only one in for a surprise;Josh abandons his professionalism to help a desperate client;Andy treats himself to something he’s wanted for a very long time.This episode follows on from In The Stars Part 2 Episode 7: Cancer.* * * * *"You must learn to look beyond the evidence. It shows only what you wish to believe is real, not what you really wish to believe."Doubt that the sun doth move;Doubt truth to be a liar,But never doubt I love...(Hamlet, Shakespeare)The Circle is in flux. It's been a hectic six months, and as the friends head into the heat of summer, more trials await that will truly test the bonds of friendship.For whilst a circle may contract and may even at times constrict, it can also expand, accommodate, embrace.And it is always whole.Eternal.* * * * *In The Stars Parts I and II follows the day-to-day lives of The Circle - nine friends from high school who are now it their late thirties, through a year of celebration, loss, illness and life-changing decisions.'Leo' is the eighth episode of In The Stars. For those readers unfamiliar with the series, 'Capricorn' (episode one) re-introduces the main characters, so you could pick it up from here and perhaps catch up with the previous books later (I hope you will!).The full novels of In The Stars Part I (Capricorn–Gemini) and In The Stars Part II (Cancer–Sagittarius) are also available for purchase as a paperbacks and ebooks.* * * * *What readers say about the Hiding Behind The Couch Series:"The remarkable characterisation in these novels is what makes them for me.""This story reminds me of my favorite movies about friendship and relationships.""Few authors have explored the depths of longtime friends within a group, or 'circle' the way Debbie McGowan has!""I have a love-hate relationship with Debbie McGowan's Hiding Behind the Couch Series. I love to read them, I HATE it when they're over."
