Thanks for everyone's patience and encouragement. "A New Past" is rapidly coming to a close. I've just finished writing chapter 59 (of 60 planned). I typically try to make chapters around 10,000 words, which means it might be a little hard to conclude the tale in one more chapter. As a result, the final chapter will be either very long, or I might have to end in chapter 61. We will see as I finish the writing.
Currently, I have chapter 56 back from my editors, but have not sent out 57-59 yet. I've decided to hold off sending those out until I've finished the story, since I've been going back and adjusting details and scenes as I try to drive to the conclusion. The only reason I mention is to manage everyone's expectations. I've been posting a chapter ever couple of weeks since June, but will hold off after chapter 56 is posted until the remainder of the story is written.
Once the last chapter is complete, I'll try to get a definitive posting schedule established.
For those of you who have expressed and interest in the next installment of "Survivors", I've been jotting down some ideas and notes and think I have a direction forward for that tale as well.
As always, thanks for reading,
-Charlie
