3. Important Author's Note

I know, I know – you were hoping this was a chapter. But I need to share with you why there will be delays in posting future chapters.

We just found out that my mom has non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We'll find out tomorrow how far it has spread, but it is supposed to be a highly curable cancer whether it's spread or not (cross your fingers). Chemo will start soon, and I will be taking my mom back and forth to her treatments and spending more time with her while she's going through this.

I hope her treatments will only last a short time, but we'll see how things progress.

So, I just wanted to let you all know. The story is not abandoned – I will update, just not as quickly as you'd like. Sorry, but Mom comes first, of course, as I suspect yours would. Keep her in your thoughts? I'd definitely do the same for you. Thanks very much.
