Xalir: Blog

Hey folks. I just posted chapters 22 and 23 to the pipeline for posting. I've been pretty quiet lately and I apologize. This time of the year is difficult for me. I've had several deaths in the family over the years that fall into December and January that make me withdrawn. I'm starting to feel better, but this year, the seasonal depression wants to hang on a little longer.

Thanks for all your patience with me. I'm not ignoring you if you haven't gotten a reply from me by email. I'm just sort of coping.

I just posted chapters 18 and 19 to the pipeline for posting. I figure I owe it to you guys to play a little catch-up with my delinquency over the holidays. We're just about at the halfway point for book 3 now.

Thanks again to everyone who supports with emails, votes and just reading the story. I know I've been terrible about email lately, but I AM catching up....Slowly. LOL

And for those of you who've wondered, I'm not dead yet. Heh.

Hi folks. I know, I know. I've been a bad boy about posting and I apologize. With the holidays, I've been kind of caught up in the rush of the season. I apologize for that and I hope everyone had a great holiday season.

As part of my apology, I've posted Chapters 16 and 17 to the site. They should be up shortly.

Thanks again for all your support and Happy New Year's to one and all. Stay safe if you're on the roads tonight.

It seems that I missed posting yesterday in the blur of holiday errands. Chapter 13 is up now and will be followed by Chapter 14 tomorrow and Chapter 15 on Monday to put us back on schedule.

Thanks again to everyone who writes, reads these tales and scores them with affection. I'm constantly humbled by the response and I'm slowly catching up to my email backlogs.

Finally, Happy Holidays to everyone, no matter what you celebrate. I generally gravitate toward Merry Christmas, but that's because I'm lazy and Christmas is easy to spell for me. I feel like this time of the year is a universal time for us all to look for the good in ourselves and each other. Matt's conversation with Patrick on Christmas Eve is sort of symbolic of the kind of sentiment that I feel the holiday should be about. I wish you and yours the very best and I hope that you have the kind of holiday season that invigorates and renews you.

I just posted chapter 12 to be posted. It covers the morning after Christmas Day including the conversation with Cheryl's parents.

Again, apologies for my lack of ability to keep up with email right now. I'm starting to think that it's time for me to start seeking a medical solution in hopes of getting a decent night of sleep so I can think coherently.
