A/N: Just a note, since several folks are asking lately. Yes, the story WILL be finished. In fact, it already is mentally. Just no time.
In August, a coworker went out with a surgery that will take her a few months to recover from. I was asked to become her as well as me to help cover things in the interim, and the schedule got crazy. She has just started back part time, though still in and out and not fully herself yet. Hopefully things will get better soon. Meanwhile, music season started with full rehearsals schedule. Plus a whole slew of medical tests and appointments myself, by far the most extensive physical workup I've ever had in my life. Nothing's wrong with me; this is part of the "preventing dementia" course I've set for myself. One of Mom's health errors was that she avoided all doctors like the plague, and I know for a fact that she had a couple of physical health issues going on that she was in denial of for years before her mental symptoms started to develop. I am doing everything I can to avoid that course, and one thing was that I had picked out this year several years ago, in fact over a decade ago with the date suggested by the neuropsychologist who first diagnosed Mom's dementia, to get the supersized, checking for anything developing general medical checkup. All results good so far, one test remaining next week. But between extra work, music, and doctors, I've hardly had time to turn around the last weeks, much less write.
But the story is fine, and it will come. I was actually working just the other day mentally on the third story in my series out, called Nexus. The scaffolding is going up nicely on it. There are three stories in the series on tap, The Other Foot, (name withheld at the moment), and Nexus. There are probably two more chapters on Phantom if they break out like I figured.
Sorry for the delay, but it will come.
