I just wanted to let everyone know that this story has not been abandoned.
A lot of crap has come up. In February I finally had surgery on my dominant hand, after two years of battle with insurance, and it's still healing (though I am finally back to work). Then I was evicted from my home and had to move back with my Mum (talk about a knock to the ego).
I WILL return to writing for this book once I figure out how to go about it. I just wanted to let you guys know I'm not dead.
