I’ve been poo at updating lately, I know.

What with things going full speed at work (big deadline coming up mid June) and the panic about organising MERGE, and fighting off some weird stomach bug and having low-level headaches for the last five days, and overdue editing work, and, and, and… I’m… well, “bleagh” is a good description.

My boyfriend says I let myself get too stressed about things. He’s probably right. I just hate not being able to do everything I’ve decided I want to do — and updating here weekly is one of those things.

So in order to not kill myself, I’m officially declaring a semi-hiatus. “Semi” because I’m going to do everything I can to get the chapters written and published, but “hiatus” because I predict they’ll be running late for a while.

I intend to get back on track in 2-3 weeks. I think I just need a breather.

In the meantime why not battle it out over what should happen in chapter 33? It’s from Lilith’s point of view and is set in Rivton — if you can write convincingly, I may just include your suggestion…

Thanks for your patience, guys.
