Because I wanted to clean up a few errors in Chapter 11, as well as put in a couple of things I had forgotten to include, I've just revamped the chapter a bit, including making one feature clearer. I'll be uploading the new version soon. While I changed nothing all that substantive, readers may want to take another look. Thanks to one reader suggesting a couple of typographical error fixes and making a comment that made me realize that one part of the chapter was interpreted differently than I intended. I particularly appreciated that. You know who you are.

I believe I can see the light of day at work. One of the major reports due soon is in final review and I'll have the first draft of the other done soon. I had a bit of free time tonight, so finally finished and queued Chapter 17 of A New Tree; it should be up sometime today. In short bits of stolen time over the past two weeks, I've gotten Chapter 4 of the second Sandy story about half-finished and Chapter 11 of LATT well started. I'm also slowly going through the long, careful process of re-editing the fifth book of Beth (Chapters 46-57) so I can, hopefully, get it published at Bookapy in the next few weeks. I'm very much looking forward to having more significant time aimed at my own projects rather than work projects!

I've been wrestling mightily with two big reports for work that have sapped my time and energy of late. While I've made progress on the next chapters of LA & TT, Sandy 25 years later, and Daymon in that time, the LA & TT chapter beat the others to the finished line and is now in the publication queue. I hope to get the next chapters of the other two stories published next week, but I can't guarantee it will happen.

I've uploaded a cast of characters and a short gazetteer of places into the publishing queue, which should be placed immediately before Chapter 1. It should be up sometime on the 26th (NYC time).

I just realized that I had forgotten I'd already named Daymon's mother when I began calling her Sally. I've just fixed that in the published chapters 1-2 and in chapter 3, which will be published Wednesday morning (NYC time). I once heard this statement somewhere, and agree with it: "It's Hell getting old."
