HUGE delays and a special treat for loyal fans

For those of you who've stuck with me, I thank you.  Unfortunately, we've hit a patch of delays.  I'm working hard at my job, I have applications to do for work overseas, I'm terribly sick, and my old computer got fried last week, so I'm trying to settle in with my new one.  As such, chapters six and beyond will be delayed by at least one, possibly two weeks.

This is a huge disappointment to me, as I really was making good progress with keeping this blog regularly updated.  However, I do have a special treat for everyone.  I said that when the delays inevitably came, I would try and share some supplementary material with everyone.  Well, here's the first of it.

During one of my conventions, I found an exceptionally talented artist...whose name I've unfortunately forgotten.  Please forgive me.  However, I got her to make a commission based on my writing.  This is a fairly accurate interpretation of Aeon, the Frozen Shade.  With green flames in his eye sockets and cold fire burning in his palm, I think she really captured the aesthetic I envisioned.  I got one more commission made last year, but that's a treat for later.  So, for those with no imagination, let me introduce Aeon, the Frozen Shade.

Chapter six is coming along.  It'll be ready soon, so please be patient.
