Hello everyone,

  I apologize to those of you who have been left hanging the past few months. Apart from my job sapping all my time and energy, I actually got extremely sick to the point where I needed to resign my job. For well over a month I had hardly any energy to do much more than rest or take care of a few small tasks around the house. Not only was I unable to write, but I was too ill to even feel any sort of desire to do so.

  I've fortunately recovered quite well, and I'm finally starting to feel that spark of creativity coming back. As I transition to working part time and continue to get better, I'll try to make more progress on this story. However, I'm not in any place to make promises as to when I'll have new content to release. So, for now, this fiction is officially on hiatus. As soon as I do make some progress on it, I will let you all know. I really am looking forward to continuing this story in the future, once I am fully able to do so.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Thank you all for your likes, comments, and follows. I hope each and every one of you has a fantastic rest of 2024!
