*Descends from the shadowy abyss* Yes, she lives. ;) I want to thank everyone who has read PF, posted sweet messages, liked and or added the story to your libraries.
It has been crazy on the home front (with a husband-which lets face it, is like a 4th child some days, a teen, a tween and an 8 year old princess -that thinks she is grown- A dog -with issues- A bunny and a bearded dragon. (Never a dull moment in the Bean compound ;) ). Someday soon I hope to have the creative energy to get into the heads of Pepper, Donovan and Jared again. I apologize for leaving you all hanging. Hopefully no stones will be lobbed my way for my very sparse updates. (Honestly I'll probably be 80 by the time I finish this story at the pace I am setting).
I am going to try and fiddle with something lighter behind the scenes to try and get back into the writing swing (trust me, I'm as rusty as the abandoned tin man without his oil can)...maybe I'll even take a writing course to help me learn tactics for when life gets hectic and that creative brick wall blocks my path.
Again, thank you to those still willing to cheer me on and send supportive wishes.
