Okay, so it's been a while. It's been a LONG while, and I'm sorry about that. Writing is a passion, true, but if you write too much, or spend all your life writing and editing, it can become a grind.

However, after a decent break the words have started flowing. The first two chapters are done, and they lead nicely into a large chunk (20,000 plus words) which I'd already written.

I'm not ready to nail down a release date, and in fact I was reluctant to even mention Hal 8, but I do believe the time is right for me to finish this book.
