'Cancer' is the seventh episode of In The Stars, released in June 2014. 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.

"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 nine friends from high school who are now it their late thirties, through a year of celebration, loss, illness and life-changing decisions.
