@JELyrica Well Done J.E.! This is huge - you've steadily kept building this world and I'm looking forward to getting caught up and seeing the conclusion.
I love that you're including bonus chapters. That is one thing I'll always miss about a DVD movie - when you bought a special edition with special features, behind-the-scenes, etc. I know there are painful parts to this story but - in many cases I wonder if you would be interested in telling the reader which parts parallel your life, or are sourced directly from experience or memory.
I once got to go to an event for my school and we heard a historian speak about the real author (and the real Christopher Robin) behind "Winnie the Pooh". It was almost not for children in some spots! Point is, I think that's the first time I realized: Writers invent the craziest things from the smallest kernels of truth.
That's definitely you J.E. : )
