CCNote: I know that I have been missing for awhile and my work has gone unfinished. I hate that I left it unattended but the reviews I got during this hiatus have always brought a smile to my face. On my worst days I'd get a ping for this story or others and suddenly life wasn't all that bad. That being said, it has come to my attention that one of my biggest supporters Katarina-hime, the author of AMAZING works like Straw Saga, has passed away.
This news has hit me hard because we actually got to connect outside of which is rare. She was a beautiful soul that leaves behind two adorable children, a loving husband, and a legacy of creative work that has impacted so many of us on this site. I am gutted as I never did the one thing she'd asked of me which was to finish my work. Not only that but to finally publish my original works. This is something I regret not doing yet and I wish that she was around to read them. It's a reminder that life is much too short and everyday, literally everyday is a blessing. So I will be finishing this story and others in her honor. In the meantime please check out Katarina-hime's work and leave a review. She deserves it.
