Ok, I just sent the final manuscript to the publisher. Just wanted to send a quick thank-you to the people on here who helped me complete it. I spent a lot of time going through comments and fixing the things many of you pointed out.

  In the Kindle version, I added a couple of new things.

  A chapter from someone from the second wave who works on the lumber crews

  A subplot for josh on various chapters, think you'll like that one

  Cleaned up images and maps

  I got the manuscript professionally prepared for KDP. So hopefully that works out. The editing is still really just me going through with Grammarly so I hope it's good enough.

  The deal with my wife for 8000 readers and we'll have another kid is still on!

  Also, I created the Patreon because a lot of you have insisted I do it. I only have two chapters uploaded there so far, and to be honest. Creating the scaling tiers with releases for each of them is a ton of work; I just don't have time for it. So, for now, it's just one tier that will get you ten chapters ahead. This week I'm going to work on those chapters, then next I will continue dropping chapters here to feed all of you.

  I can't thank all of you enough for supporting me enough to get here. What started as a passion project turned into something real.
