Today's chapter's being delayed for 24 hours or so.

  Had an ear infection for the past few days, but it took a turn for the worst last night. Haven't managed to get much writing or editing done. It's cleared up a quite a bit throughout the day–hoping it's one of them things that get worse before they get better and I'm through the thick of it.

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Very sorry for the delay. Seems to be one thing after the other these last 2 weeks, which is why I'll be committing to building up a backlog of chapters again so such issues don't cause delays in the future.

  Once again, I'm very sorry for this and will see you all tomorrow.

  Best regards,
