Thank you all for your patience.
I have some good news and some so-so news. Firstly, the good news. The ending of A New Past is written. The so-so news is that I have given up trying to wrap everything up by chapter 60. It looks like the tale will end up in the 62-65 chapter range. Since I have the ending written, it's just a matter of getting the characters from where they are in chapter 58 to that finish line.
I'm still trying to get things wrapped up before the end of the year, so please continue to be patient with me.
As always, thanks for reading.
