Book 2 of Variation on a Theme is coming to an end very soon. The final chapter (116) should post on Saturday, October 30th. I promise - no cliffhanger this time. See - not so scary! I certainly hope the ending encourages you to wish to continue into Book 3, though.
Speaking of Book 3, here's the (slightly) scary part (for me, anyway; annoying, for many of you). I'm not as far ahead as I'd like to be on getting Book 3 written. Well over enough ahead that posting isn't a problem, but - for now - I'm going to post 3 times a week instead of 4. My current thought is to post M Th S, but I'm open to suggestions for other days.
I can blame a lot of things - a few cases of writer's block, a new job that's keeping me very busy, volunteer commitments, and so forth - but the simple fact is that I don't want to risk running out of things to post and having to post as I get things written. That's not good for anyone. My hope is that 3x a week will at least keep me from getting further behind and may let me build up more story so that the posting pace stays steady long-term.
I'm sure some of you will be disappointed, and I'm sorry. It's a bit of a trick instead of a treat. I'll try to make sure there are some treats, too.
Cast of Characters is still in progress, not forgotten, if you're wondering.
As always, thanks for reading!
