Partly because I often forget some of my characters' names, myself, I began creating a roster. I decided that readers might appreciate it, so I cleaned it up and have popped it into the pub queue.

I've got Chapter 92 mostly written, but it will be a while, yet, until I get it uploaded, both because it's involved and because of new-project workload in my work life.

I have posted Chapter 89 to the queue. I apologize for the long delay since Chapter 88, but the holidays, work, end-of-year work stuff, and beginning-new-project stuff has eaten ALL of my time. Now that we're into the new year, I hope to get back to more-frequent chapter posts.

is in the queue, at long last. Thanks to everyone for waiting through my computer fiasco.

My laptop is now back in my hands with, apparently, all files intact. I hope to get back to writing, although I now have a new outside contract to complete before I have much writing time. I hope to have the next chapter of Beth up by the end of next week. Thanks to all that have written with encouragement during this incredibly stressful month of not having my life's work available to me.

To those that have suggested backups, I reply that I have had two external hard drives (of reputable manufacturers) fail on me in the past five years, and have lost an incredible amount of important files and documents to those failures, thus am gun shy. This experience has pointed out that I need to do something, but I don't, yet, know what that will be.

My laptop problem has become a fiasco. It is still at Dell and may need to take another round trip so that I don't lose all my documents. I know not how long this will take, but it's already been a month!
