Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2003 00:50:27 +0100 From: Ardveche Subject: Educating Alex Apology Dear Reader, Many of you have emailed me recently to ask what (if any) progress has been made on Educating Alex. To some of you I have replied saying that I am working on Chapter 12. But you will have noticed by now that chapters are not coming anything like as swiftly as they used to. In fact, there was a lapse of almost two years at one point. I suppose in a way it is a real tribute to the story (for which I am immensely grateful) that you are all still following it after this time. I thought such loyalty deserved an explanation. I recently moved to a new city and a new job and have found myself extremely busy and with nothing like the free time I used to have. Sadly, this has meant that progress on Alex and all the other half finished stories has had to halt. But I did just want to let everyone know that I have not abandoned the work, Chapter 12 of Alex is halfway completed. So, thank you for your patience, and please bear with me. In the interim I'm sure you'll find many other things to read, but in case you have not already heard of them I am putting a list of my other stories at the foot of this message. In addition to the three complete ones there are also fragments which you can find through my link on the Prolific Authors page.
