I sincerely and deeply apologize for not ending this chapter in anything that someone normal (which obviously leaves out the Grinning Dick) could consider a cliffhanger. I just checked and even the next chapter ends in a spot that's simply a set-up for the following chapter and not even a cliffhanger. Sorry, I'm not sure what's wrong with me in not doing that.
Of course, depending upon where things end, I'll probably get lots of emails, wailing, and gnashing of teeth at the end of this book. I've actually already figured out that cliffhanger sentence, it's just whether or not that's where Book Four ends isn't currently set in stone at this point.
Enjoy your reading!
