To all Concerned Readers,

A lot of you have sent me emails and left reviews and comments telling me to update. As much as I would like that to happen, circumstances beyond my control just aren't giving me enough time. When the school year finished I was positive that I could make another big update with an interesting chapter and everything, but alas I've forgotten to consider many things.

First of all, I had responsibilities to my education, therefore I was forced to volunteer for all of three painful weeks. I worked 7:30 a.m to 3 p.m, sometimes 4, and after an hour on public transportation to get back home I was exhausted. Not much desire to write when all you want to do is take a shower, eat something and sleep. Which is pretty much what I ended up doing.

Then came going on vacation time, for another three weeks, and I was stuck without a computer. I took my writing stuff with me, saying that I'll write something and then type it up when I get home, but between interconnecting flights, running around sightseeing and spending time with the family scattered all over the globe that was a futile attempt as well.

Finally when I get home, my best friend calls me and tells me I've got summer homework. At which I say disgusted "Summer homework? You're bleeping crazy!" But alas, it was true, and I had two chapters of math work to finish in a week before school. Supposedly we're having a test the second day back, and failing grades are really a bad thing when you want to apply to university.

Therefore, I did NO writing thing summer. I just didn't have the blasted time. And from the looks of it, I won't be doing any writing during the school year either.

The two current works that I've been working on were a Harry Potter story that hasn't been published seeing how there's a bit of the first chapter and that's it, and Thief. And for thief I have a bit of chapter 15 written. I'll try - but I am not promising anything - to write during the school year or the little tiny breaks we get from time to time.

So far, I've put together a Thief of Hearts Mailing List, for all the people who have left me reviews and expressed an interest in reading the rest of the story. Last chapter I sent out notifications to everyone that I had on my list. I think that works pretty well, instead of you guys checking back here every week or couple of weeks. (That mailing list was one of my brighter ideas. Mwehehe)

So yeah, if you're interested, and you haven't received an update last time, then either write me an email or leave a review and I'll add you to the list.

Sorry for making you wait so much just to come out with a non-chapter disappointment.

Luts of Love,

PA
