Just a small update and this will be eventually replaced by the actual chapter..

I am working, slowly yet surely, on the next chapter, but it's been slow and my muse hasn't always been reliable.

In 2020, I became a widower, and it wasn't due to Coronavirus .. My wife suffered a fatal heart attack, and I was there to witness the spark leave her eyes as I waited on the EMTs, while I ineffectually attempted CPR.

Since then, I've been getting help from several sources, on a pro-bono scale as I've been unemployed since 2017, and I have yet to find a job in the intervening time.

I have discovered the joys of building and painting miniatures, as well as having started a novel of my own.

I will be continuing this story, it just might take a bit between each chapter, as I have a shed ton of stuff to do, with cleaning house, getting my life back together, and just having my muse cooperate.
