Okay, so let me give y'all an update. I go the new computer and it's great. I finally got it set with all the programs I prefer.
Now for the pissed-on laptop, it was dead. The power supply was shorted but luckily, the hard drive was okay. I was able to pull off everything that I had not yet backed up before the cat went to target practice. I got it all.
I have the latest chapter of Mayhem in a Pill and I will be going over it later on tonight and then sending it out to the editors who have been waiting with bated breath for my wonderful prose to appear. Of course, they waited in front of their computers and begged off their normal life until the language defining exposition could be introduced to the masses... or at least until the masses were genuinely ready to receive such a gift. It's a tight line, for sure.
Also, I HAVE backed it all up again.
I still need to dot a few T's and cross a couple of I's but it will be sent off tonight or latest tomorrow. Then the guys do their work and we can let you find out what's next for our intrepid crew.
So if everything works out, you should have the next chapter next week. Unless the damn cat decides we aren't paying enough attention to her again. One last thing... I'm a little disappointed no one wanted the demon spawn when offered. But I won't hold that against you, I'll just know where to point her next time.
