Thank you to everyone who has written me about this story. I am not able to answer all of you, but thank you just the same.
I have turned on voting for the story. I hope everyone is enjoying it. I discovered I made an error when I numbered the chapters. The complete Book 1 is eighteen chapters long, not nineteen as I previously stated.
Work continues on Book 2. Thankfully I am more diligent about backing up my work than last spring. My primary laptop died this morning. I have never seen text on a computer screen shimmy before. Then I had bursts of black rectangles all over the screen followed by a locked up computer. A hard reboot produced nothing but a black screen. I think that laptop is history. Thankfully all my files are located on a USB SSD drive, so I am able to pull the SSD drive from the dead laptop and plug it into my backup laptop and continue working.
I look forward to hearing from you as I continue to post Coming Home, Book 1.
