I last added to the Anthony Carter saga in 2009 with the chapter 'The Last Battle'. I had to put a question mark after that chapter title now, since I am adding 17 new chapters to 'In The Navy', covering Anthony's life from 1811 to 1815. As usual, I'll be posting two chapters per week, and the full Book 3, 'Under The Broad Pennant', covering Anthony life and career from his near ship wreck on the Spanish coast to Napoleon's Hundred Days, is already available at Bookapy and ZBS.

Dear readers,
some of you may have noticed that I have been incommunicado for a few weeks and not responding to any feedback since I finished posting Mob Princess. The reason for this is 21 inches long, weighs in at 7 pounds and some change and carries a mixed sex chromosome set: I became a grandfather again, and there were quite a lot of things with which Gramps-to-be was tasked in the weeks before. So, I'm sorry (but not too much) for neglecting my 'duties' as an author.
I thank the readers who messaged typos and other errors to me in the last weeks. I promise to consider your suggestions, but I will not answer all the messages in my backlog since it takes away too much time from writing new stuff. In a few weeks, I should be back to normal — at least as 'normal' goes for me. Right now, however, Gramps is more concerned about the little mewling bundle and his little big sister, who is a bit dazed with all the changes in her family life and needs her grandparental units more than usual.

Hi, all those of you following Tess DiRosa's adventures, be advised that the next chapter will appear today, Friday, not tomorrow. Have fun!

Ever since I had All About Gisele deleted from SOL in 2021, readers have asked for it. I still do not feel that it fits in with the rest of my stories, but I gave permission to Joe Neon to do a little editing and to repost it, provided he kept the plot unchanged. He will start posting it today, both here and on the ZBS. I hope this arrangement will make Gisele's fans happy.

Hi! Keen-sighted reader Dinsdale discovered a continuity error early in Chapter 7. A corrected Chapter 7 is already in the posting queue (just one deleted half-sentence). Not Old Rotorhead's oversight! It's something I screwed up all by myself after editing, when I corrected Tess's travel itinerary and forgot to extend that correction to Chapter 7.
