Hello to all of my loyal readers and followers. I'm here to tell you that, unfortunately, there will be a bit of an extended delay before I'm able to write the next chapter of "And Then There Were Two" for you guys. The reason is simply that I'm working on a real book to enter into a writing contest, which would be a fantastic opportunity if I could win it. I know you guys who have been long time followers of my IS story will find it nothing new to have to wait a while for an update, but in this case I really felt I should let everyone know. Rest assured, I've not abandoned Nick, Ichika, and the girls, and there will be the next installment of their adventure as soon as I can possibly get it to you guys. That's all I've got to say. As always, I've got nothing but praise and appreciation for you guys who take the time to read my story and enjoy it enough to either follow, or favorite it. I promise, I will be back.
