NOVEL NEXT Author’s Note (aka “Not dead, just weathered”)
I've been completely MIA these past few weeks because Jamaica (aka where I live) decided to throw hands with a whole hurricane. Yep. WiFi? Gone. Electricity? Gone. My will to fight for my life every day? Hanging on by one frayed thread and a box of matches.
Anyway, the storm (Hurricane Melissa, you rude queen) hit hard, and the whole country's been recovering. I just got back access to the internet after three weeks of living like it's 1825, and as much as I wanted to post updates—there was literally nothing I could do.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
I'm still not 100% back with everything (power is still iffy and I'm working with whatever scraps of stability I can find), but once I'm back in full, I'll upload new chapters ASAP.
