Chapter 17 and the Epilogue have been submitted to the moderators and should post soon. So comes the conclusion of Refuge.
Don't despair though as Paul and Anna ride again in the next book, Retreat. Retreat is finishing up the editing process and looks good to start posting on 12 April. This next book takes the fine folks of Estancia Dos Santos through two more years and provides numerous twists and turns. It answers many, but not all, questions you all have raised in your emails and comments including the identity of 'the Boss'.
Book 4 is a work in progress and, assuming I can control the muse, will take our fine friends up to the beginning of the Civil War.
A special thanks to my fine team of both formal and informal editors, TeNderLoin, TheRev, zap292, Guns97, and CoullPert who continue to school me in the fine points of continuity and copy editing as well as grammar, punctuation, and homonyms/homophones.
To those who've taken he time to send me emails or write on the Comments page, thank you. I never tire of reading your thoughts and viewpoints as they are important to me. I never know what I'm going to learn.
Until April, please enjoy the other fine authors here on SOL, and stay safe!
