Obviously things haven't been going as planned for me. My medical issues have returned to haunt me again, which is making it very difficult to get productive writing time. I'm still working when I can, but most of what energy I have is going into getting Jungles of Alabama ready to publish.

At this point I'm probably in for several more weeks of problems before I can manage a normal schedule again. I'll still post chapters when I can, but I'm afraid they're going to be irregular until I'm back to normal.

I was debating it up to the last minute, but I've decided to go ahead and take a break for the holidays. Christmas and New Year's both fall on the weekend this year, so the next update will be January 7. After that I'll be aiming to make it through to Summer '23 (and the end of this book) without any further breaks, but we'll see how it goes.
