Dear readers,

I am in a difficult period of transition right now. I had a new baby (my first baby). I'm starting a new job and I have no house. I have not had one for a couple weeks now. I'm staying with my in-laws until my new house is completed. It's been hard to ind a private place to write... since I no longer have my office and my computer broke... both critical obstacles to writing. I will start writing the Elder of Mediocrity again, sooner rather than later. But you won't see a release from me until January. Life is full of unexpected events, to say the least.

To make it up to you I'm posting a link to a novella I wrote a couple years back. The first in a series of novellas, I know the gap between chapters is difficult and I thank you guys for sticking with me and I hope that this small story will ease the pain of absent releases.

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

It is... different... from my current story. I hope you enjoy. I hope to see you all again. Thank you very much. Don't worry, I won't drop the Elder of Mediocrity, I just need to get the time to settle into my house and new job and baby. Thanks a lot, I am so grateful to you all.

Yours truly,

James Paul Addington
