Hello all.  Gods, but it's amazing that a story can have such a following.

Thank you for all the letters.  Threatening bodily harm if Vic doesn't get
some nooky is going a bit far, tho <G>.

Realistically, I'd thought I would have had several segments out in the two
months since my last submission.  Admittedly, I'm nursing both wrists
through a bout of carpal tunnel, but - still - 4 to 6 pps ain't all that
much.

What has taken me so much time is that I have an agent who wanted my
complete crime novel manuscript (to read and, hopefully, to represent).
This entailed some rewrites which were always needed "the day before
yesterday".  Carpal tunnel or no, I moved as fast as I could (perhaps
faster than I should).

Those 85,000 words were posted to St. Mary Church, Devon, yesterday.  Wish
me luck, guys.

So ... I've finished my rewrite and got the manuscript off to the agent.
My writing time is once again mine.  Please expect chap 45 of GUS before
the end of the week-end.

Thanks for putting up with me and my priorities.
