Hi everyone. I know it's been quite a while since any of you have heard from me (this is assuming there are, in fact, people out there who will read this!). First things first: I hope you and your loved ones are OK. This COVID-19 moment we're living in is super stressful, dangerous, destructive, and my heart goes out to you if you or your loved ones have had your lives turned upside down, one way or another, by this thing.

One of the strange truths of life right now is that some people (health workers, sanitation workers, mail carriers, and so many others) are more busy and stressed than ever, while most people (myself included) find themselves suddenly with a lot of cancelled plans and extra time on their hands to stare at various screens in an attempt to keep the anxiety and the malaise at bay. So, with extra time on my hands (and perhaps on some of yours?), I'm considering picking up where I left off a few years back and taking a stab at that sequel.

Would any of you read it? I'm also looking for a beta reader, since this story will contain elements that go to much more serious and difficult places than the first one did. Definitely, this story needs some work, but it still might be welcome escapism for people at this particular moment.

So please leave a review here that says whether you'd like a sequel, if you want one, and also please tell me whether you'd be willing to be a beta reader. Fingers crossed!
