Sorry, there won't be a chapter this week and there probably won't be one next week either. Medical reasons, but nothing serious.

  Also, I wanted to alert you that at some point in the next few chapters I will stop posting. I will continue writing (not this week, maybe not next week) but I won't post. The reason for this is that we are in the home stretch for book 1 and I sort of want to post the last major movement, when things start happening, as one continuous narrative, rather than chapter by chapter with cliffhangers.
