Sorry everybody for the long disappearance, and I regret to inform you that it will be longer. I have tried over the last several months to include these stories, which I love to do, among my priorities but it just wasn't happening.
HOWEVER!!!
I will come back! It may be a couple months from now, but I will finish these stories. I love them. I want to finish them. I hate leaving things unfinished, especially halfway. But life has other plans at the moment.
