Hello, my fellow Fanfiction readers.

many of you have been incredibly patient, waiting for the next update, either for Hallows or Courage Rising. Thank you for being so patient.

I have been absent for a while. I have started a new career in education, moved to a new state, (and away from family), continued my marriage journey with my wonderful wife, and of course, raising a little boy. In addition to that, I have been researching and writing my very own young adult novel series. (Still a long ways to go before a final draft). As you all can probably tell, I have had minimal time for these stories.

However, that will be changing very soon. I jist started my summer break (and not working through the summer--which is very foreign to me). I do have several drafts for both stories that never made it to publishing.

In short; an update is coming soon.

Again, thank you for your patience.

Cheers.
