I have no idea what happened that made these chapters unreadable on SOL and over at finestories.com, but all fixed now. Thank you to all who let me know. I reposted some but others magically resolved on their own. Ah, computers and programs. Hopefully chapter 4 soon. I made some revisions and thankfully editors Michelle and Steve gave up some of their Christmas time to make this story better.
Regards, AA
And... My warmest wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
