Hi Milian

I’m starting to write the last two parts this month and hope to have them out next year (2018). I believe that the end of part four is not a cliff hanger but a good place to start the finale.

I had a really good idea for a blog post

But time caught up with me!

Instead of something thoughtful, you get the ‘hello I’m back from New Zealand’ and no I haven’t written any more Gentleman Magician.
