Greetings!
Chapter 7 is submitted and should be in your hands as you read this. I wanted to give a status update as well. Special thanks to mitchell.0621 for his editing skills and advice on the story.
The plan right now is to give you a bit of a Christmas bonus, and no, it's not a membership to the the Jelly of the Month Club. On Dec. 20, I plan to release chapters 8 and 9 together. Chapter 8 would end on quite a cliffhanger. I don't want to do that to you at Christmas. So, Santa Max is handing out a bonus chapter. A REALLY BIG one. Chapter 9 is very long and very involved. I hope you love it.
Now, having said all that, I have less positive news. Bringing you two chapters at once means I'm going to take a longer break after that. You'll get chapter 10 3-4 weeks after. I am finishing up chapter 10 this weekend and I no longer have the 3-chapter lead I had on you earlier. I have to get a bigger lead once again, and I need that time around the busy holidays anyway.
This means no whining about going a little longer without a new chapter. We clear on that? Excellent.
Enjoy chapter 7 and look forward to your Christmas bonus. I'm excited about where the story is headed and I hope you are as well.
