To my astonishment, Chapter Twenty-Two is now online.
I fudged a little, actually; it’s really about $5 short, but come on, it’s just five bucks. Close enough.
That leaves two chapters (and the free epilogue) to go.
Meanwhile, I’ve delivered the finished (I think) novel to Wildside and am awaiting the contract. One way or another, this one’s almost done, and I have serious doubts about whether I’ll bother with another serial.
Thanks to everyone who’s donated!
why the reluctance for another serial?
Because this one didn’t work.
The page I normally come in through http://www.watt-evans.com/tales.html has been claiming no serial is in progress for months. That probably didn’t help.
Wow, people come through there? It’s been abandoned for a couple of years now. I’ll update it.
(Just a datum: That page was last updated April 22, 2011. It is not an active page, or there’d have been a new story each April and Christmas.)
Okay, I updated it, and included a date this time.
