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.
