I've been reading through all of your responses, you have no idea how perfectly you are timing this...you are nearly to the final chapter of this book--but I am going to start posting book two this week! So everyone else had almost two weeks to wait, with a SERIOUS cliffhanger, but you'll basically just continue on, haha!!
Thank you so much for all of the feedback, your words give me a boost and make me look forward to posting the next book! I personally feel, and actually have been told by a number of people, that while they really liked book one, they loved book two, so it will be fun to see if the people of steemit also find it better :)
