Thank you very much. Unfortunately I can't say more than that to anyone specific because for some reason the site isn't showing me any new notifications. It lets me know I have them but gives no details.

Due as much to difficulties on the editor's end as my steady depression; I so need to get away from a certain someone.

I doubt anyone cares any more, but I still mean to finish that darn story. Actually it is finished, my editor is just having problems getting it back to me.

Anyway, for some amusement, have a song! By oddball band Darkest of the Hillside Thickets, it's 'Nyarlathotep', a song in honor(?) of HP Lovecraft's nastiest creation, done entirely in Ancient Egyptian.

My apologies once more (sigh) for the lateness of any updates. Between coming off the holidays and dealing with confinement-related stresses both my editor and I have been unable to proceed with the writing. I hope this will change soon, even more hopefully that it will coincide with the end of the Coronavirus.

Anyway, on to something writing related, even if it's not my work.

I offer everyone here my apologies for the stall-out on the last few chapters of Realms Undreamed Of. The first draft is done, but my editor has once again been going through financial and health-related problems that leave him with no time or energy for working on my writing.

I am hoping that this changes soon and that he and I can present you with the climax of the latest John and the ponies story.

May your holiday be more peaceful than my sister's, with a minimum of bomb threats to deal with. No worries, everyone's okay. Heck, they didn't even close the store after checking it!

I'm sorry if I failed to respond to a recent comment on my stories. Between being sick for a while, being somehow unable to see my new notifications (I get told I have new notifications, but not what they are), and waiting on my editor as he wrestles with work and health issues I've been kept away from here.

I am trying to get everything moving again soon. My apologies to the readers of the Silver John story in particular.

Realms Undreamed Of, that is. Chapter 21 was just posted and I hope to have the rest soon. My apologies for it taking so long.

Oh, and for those interested in more of Mister Wellman's work and some of the sources he used for the original Silver John stories:

I'm sorry, but the last chapter on 'Realms Undreamed Of' may be quite a wait. My editor didn't like the one I wrote and said I needed to write a new one -- and I just had a second car breakdown after getting a new used transmission less than a month ago for $1700.

All this right before I was going to visit with some of my few friends on the one occasion a year I get to see most of them.

My editor got through a rough patch with some health worries but here we are. And there's going to be a second new chapter posted too on the weekend. Sorry for the wait, everyone!

Looks like this story will be finished before the show ends!

Thanks everyone for your patience.
