The first chapter of Book 13 will be posted on Thursday as per the usual schedule.
In the master directory the whole story is 378 chapters. The posting of chapter 2 of Book 13 this Saturday will mark the half way point in the story, chapter 189. So it should be fully posted sometime in the autumn of next year.
Here is my usual reminder that the whole story is available for purchase on Bookapy (sister site to SOL) if you cannot wait. The link is on the SOL homepage.
My final announcement is acknowledging I am horribly behind in responding to messages. I took a step back after a couple of harsh messages but I have left it too long. Over the course of this autumn I will endeavour to get caught up.
Gruinard.
