I hope you all enjoyed the novel and the adventure it took you on.  I have a second one in the works, but progress has been slow on that front considering all that is going on in the world today and the nature of my work.  I'll be posting chapters from that one in the coming months (with any luck).  If you enjoyed this novel please leave a review as I'm always eager to read a critique of my work to improve my writing.  - Best regards in these trying times,  M.I.
