Just wanted to let my loyal readers (both of you) know that I expect to have a new story: "Loren" posted within a week or so. It fits loosely within the "Powder City" stories, but is pretty well a stand alone. No sex 'til near the end. As far as other stories go, I should have some updates before much longer. I've plugged away at them, but it's been a hard slog. "Loren" just popped into my head and refused to go away.
