Hello faithful readers! In case you didn't notice, my last publication date was in august of 2017. Thanks to school, work, and extra curriculars, I have been neglecting my writing. I hope to have a new chapter posted before the week is out. I was seriously sick several weeks ago with mono. For those of you who have never had it, it is a virus that you never get rid of. It's similar to the older generation that got the chicken pocks and now they have shingles to deal with. Unfortunately, one of the main triggers of the mono virus to relapse in the human body is stress; be it mental, physical, emotional, you name it. Sadly, my life is a living wreck currently. Though I am slowly healing from the pain of a broken engagement, I have found a wonderful man. Best friends really do make the best boyfriends. But with every mountain there is a valley that God has for us. I know good will come of all of this. Look for my next chapter of The Phantom and the Stagehand. Please, any and all of you reading this, leave comments at the end of each chapter or just at the last chapter. I would love to hear what the reader's think and where I should go with the story and how I should bring it to a close. I remain your humble servant
