Authors note:
To any readers still out there, I just thought I'd better let you know that I'm not dead, nor have I abandoned this story. I am just very, very slow.
I can't apologise enough for how long it's been since I updated. Since it has been so long, I decided to get the final sections of the story sorted before I start posting again, rather than try to post another chapter then leave another huge gap before the next. I have done about 12500 words so far. When I restart I'll aim to post every week.
I have a heavy workload at the moment that will last until mid June. After that I should have loads of time and will concentrate on finishing A New Dawn.
Thanks to everyone who's encouraged me to continue. I appreciate knowing that people want to read the rest.
