I have to apologize to all the readers of 'Blazing Star' for the lack of new chapters. Life in the real world has gotten very busy with a plethora of problems, one of which is an ongoing battle with my local Internet Provider. Service has, once again been disrupted. Once I get these issues solved, I will be back to authoring! I have not died! I should be around for a few more years! Please understand and bear with me.
