I must admit to being extremely behind in research, editing,
and anything that has to do with writing. For the past three weeks my day job
has been very hectic and much busier than usual, causing me to work overtime,
with quite a few days being an additional two hours each. Add to that the drive
there and home, which leaves me too exhausted to do much of anything in the
evening. Furthermore, the area in which my partner and I live has rapidly gone
downhill (crime is 123% higher than the national average*, more and more
homeless people are popping up on the corners and trespassing on the property, used syringes are a common sight,
someone tried to steal my partner’s bike that was chained up on the second
floor next to our door, and his car was recently broken into) prompting us to
look for a new place to live away from Seattle/Northgate. I know I’ll get back
on track once things settle down, but that may be a while. Once we have a place,
the actual move will take up a lot of time, so I imagine Jesse’s Influence and Jesse’s
Legacy won’t be published until around midsummer. I apologize for the
delay, but it cannot be avoided.
