Sorry for being incommunicado for so long. At the time of my last communication, I was still numb from my father's death and hadn't really started dealing with the loss. I kept writing whenever I could get up the gumption, but it took a while. I was able to finish two chapters, and another ring has been acquired. I hope that you enjoy the twist that occurs. I will be writing the next few chapters for Curiosity Killed the Cat now. I believe that it will be another 10 to complete book one. For everyone who's still interested in reading my work and who have been patiently waiting for new entries, thanks!
I hope this finds all of you safe, healthy, and in good spirits, considering the turmoil around us.
Cheers!
Chris
