Hello,

  I wanted to write and let everyone know that though I haven't been responding individually, I have been reading the comments. As such I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for all of the support you've all given me.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  I tend to view updates and comments from me as timely missives to be removed once whatever is going on has passed. As such I’ll be deleting this notice when the next chapter comes out but it doesn't diminish how much I appreciated the kind words you’ve all given me.

  Thank you,

  ESJ
