Thank you very much, Keith. You’ve been very encouraging through this process. It’s very nice to see your own writing taking wings. I’m in the midst of a colossal move, but hope to play catch-up on some of my fellow writers’ posts very soon.

Thank you so much, Adrian! I appreciate your support. As you commented before, the act of posting on Substack can resemble speaking into a void. 😀

Screw lit fic! I’m pivoting into pixie porn to stem subscription free fall and become the pop stacker I was born to be.

So you've resolved some key story threads nicely and sent some essential supporting characters off stage to live happily ever after, but there is a trunk on it's way to America that perhaps does not bode well for Hermann, who I believe is foretold to arrive there as well...yipes!

It's been great reading this epic saga on Substack, but when I usually read something this dense and intricate in book form, I'll finish the entire book in a week, which makes it easier to not lose track here and there. I think your readers will enjoy this wonderful tale even more in book form.

Jim, I wanted to thank you so much for your support over the last couple of years as I’ve been working on this. I completely agree with you in that it would be better to have it in a book form. Hoping to rectify that soon. At the moment I’m working overseas, but I’m hoping to retire in a few years, which will free up some time!

You're welcome! It's been my pleasure. I retired three years ago and have managed to publish 5 (and this October a 6th) books since I retired. Now, the trick will be keeping up pace that for a few more years. I'd love to get to a dozen or so.
