Greetings, I don't have a lot of readers but I wanted to give a quick update to explain why I haven't posted 3 weeks, in the event that anyone was wondering.

  I had some "alarming" circumstances come up life, but fortunately I've gotten through them.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  We survive.

  The novel isn't dead but I have to do a lot more work to properly continue it. We got caught mid-arc and I was quite literally incapable of writing. I hope to still see you around, sorry for the false alarm here, I do plan to finish it.

  Thanks, as ever, for reading :)
