Thanks for your patience! Chapter 45 is going up now, and perhaps two to go. It's been a long road, and I now have some extra hardware in my neck (10 screws and two plates) and a lumbar cage and screws, much of it since I climbed aboard Nocturne!
I do have another one done (was finished before I started this one) that is totally different - one of those post-apocalyptic thingies, and I'm wondering if there might be any interest in it?
