Sorry for the long delay from announcing chapter 8 and actually posting it. My pre-reader was a bit busy with IRL stuff, and I didn't want to move on without his looking over. I also was a day or two slow about actually going in and making corrections from mistakes he pointed out as well. But regardless, go read the chapter you've been dying to see!
I have returned. Writing continues in earnest and I'm looking forward to finally finishing a couple projects before slinking into obscurity (Who am I kidding, I am obscure as far as authors go) or not and hanging around here with actual activity every now and again.
I may have forgotten to share with you all something rather significant. I know I'm usually busy being dead, in terms of activity on this website, but I am indeed still writing and kicking. The last few weeks have been rather hectic, well, more hectic than usual. A few weeks ago, I left the employ of Cargill on my own terms.
