So.
I wasn’t proud of the original story: The first chapters were just… Disappointing. So tell me, what do you do then?
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
You rewrite them.
I’ve decided to rewrite this novel from scratch under a new title, now that I’ve better figured out this setting.
And so, I hope that you’ll forgive my half-year hiatus and give the new one a chance.
I thank my friends and partner for giving me the motivation to do this.
