Work has begun in earnest on Volume II. The first half of the first chapter is with my new editor. Hooray! Lots of background stuff I had to figure out before being able to go ahead as well as certain somewhat significant changes to the Volume's structure without impacting the story, difficult but rewarding to do. The first chapter should be posted by the end of the week. Cheers and I hope everyone is doing well.

Chapter 8 is written (just shy of 16,000 words) and in editing. Volume II is sketched out with chapter summaries. Looking forward to continuing onward.

Work has begun on Chapter 8. Currently 20% (Part I of V) done with chapter and beginning to work on Part II now. Thank to everyone who still reads and please see the end of Chapter 7 and then message me if you have any interest in bringing a character into Volume II of the story.
