Whew. I have submitted Chapter 27, at long last, for your approval and enjoyment. I must confess, the last few months of real life have been very trying here and have been partially responsible for the lack of new chapters of Blazing Star. I have started on Chapter 28 and should have it available within a week, but please, don't hold me to that. I apologize to all those readers who have missed their Blazing Star Fix! Thank you all for your concerns and well wishes. Oh, I am also re-posting all chapters from the beginning as they have some small errors that have bugged me, and others, for a while. Nothing that would alter the story, but it is just more 'polishing'. Once again, comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks!
