Hi all,

Very sorry for the chapter delay - I have two back to back work conferences, and I've literally had zero time to write. I'll have to post the next chapter next week. Unfortunate timing too, as the final chapter will probably require me to go on hiatus one last time, given its extreme length (thinking about dividing it into multiple chapters; not sure yet).

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Good news is, I've already made significant progress through this next chapter; it's just going to require a few more editing passes before I feel comfortable submitting it. Two chapters away from finishing the novel. So close!

Thank you all again for sticking with me this far. I'm very excited for the finale and hopefully you are too. Please expect more awesome content soon!

- Alex
