Character Listing

Author's Note: Several people who read my story A California Rose e-mailed me asking about sequels. I came up with the ideas for two sequels, one that followed the original story, and one that was an alternative sequel. This story, Present Tense, is the alternative sequel. It starts about halfway through chapter twenty-five of A California Rose and veers off from there. If you have not read A California Rose, please read it first, otherwise Present Tense will not make much sense.
