@Jcurrierjr : Not sure if you are still around, but you said a long time ago you wait till books are finished before you read them. Just wanted you to know I just finished 'Vampires in Space' after nearly 2 years of weekly postings. It's 370k words long, so it took a while to get up posting one scene a week.
Working on the second 'Mother of Magic' now, but just started. 5000 words in. This working full-time thing really cuts down on my writing time!
