As many of you know I have not updated ANYTHING lately. I do tweet now and then, but not much more than a few times a week. There are many reasons for that, so I will fill you in a bit.

I have been working on the sequel to Tempus for a year. It has been an on and off struggle for many reasons. The first reason is that my husband and I own a business and we were busier last year than we have ever been. It was good because we made a lot of money. It was bad because I am "the office" and was kept busy from dawn 'til dusk and beyond, leaving little or no time to write.

The second reason is that once things slowed down with work there were some serious personal issues had by others in my life where my assistance was needed - not demanded, not required, but needed. I did the best I could to help, and continued to write whenever (rare) spare time was found. 
The third reason is that once that situation was under control, yet another unexpected situation came along. The 'short' of it is that I now have a terminal friend living with me and my family and under my care and they have no family who will take on the responsibility.
I am only sharing this because I have kept so many waiting and I want you/them to understand that it is not lack of ideas or lack of desire - it is lack of time and energy - and it is wearing on me in a million ways.  Rest assured that I know where the sequel is going and (mostly) how it will get there, it is just taking much, much longer than planned. It will be completed as soon as possible, but I refuse to write a bunch of gibberish just so it can be 'finished.' I hope everyone understands.
P.S. If you have ANY extra energy, PLEASE send it my way. ;-)
