As is obvious, it has taken me some time to publish the 17th chapter of Sinaan Reis. I became very busy since the last update. This is a good thing for me, but sadly it has made it difficult to update here.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but not in the immediate future. The 17th chapter was always supposed to be the end of a portion of the story. It was always supposed to usher in the beginning of the next part of the story - which is where the real action is supposed to take place. All of the characters are in the right place.
While I had largely written Sinaan Reis well before beginning to post, I continued to edit, tweak, perfect (not that it is perfect). I have already started writing the next part, but it is not finished.
Therefore, there is no timetable for the next part. I look forward to writing it and finishing it. I've enjoyed this project, and your comments. I intend to continue it, and I thank you for your patience.
