Hey Everyone!

It's been quite a while since I let you know what's been going on with Dayton and Eve and everyone else, so I figured I'd drop you a line and let you know.

Unfortunately,  I had to step away from this project for a couple of months to handle some issues at home and I have only now gotten back to it.  That said, the time off gave me the space I needed to regain some perspective and become "reinspired".  I have spent the last couple of weeks writing, rendering, and coding the first act of chapter 3, and let me tell you, it feels really good. I feel like I lost my voice for a while and I finally got it back. To me , this is feeling much more like Christmas Eve chapter 4 and NYD chapter 1 as far as the "feel" of it.

Let's see, in this chapter we are going to be dealing with the fallout from Kaylee and Mia, the decisions the MC came to about his employment in chapter 2, the ongoing competition between Daye and Kaylee, and, of course, resolving that cliffhanger ending. We will probably also start ramping up the plans for the big New Year's Eve party, so yeah, lots to do. I'm excited. Our cast of characters are excited (in more ways than one). Are you excited?

I'll chime in again when I have completed more and let you know if I can give you an estimated release date, but for now I'll just say I'll have it done "hopefully before Christmas."

Oh, and I may have another surprise for you between now and then. Something I've been working on for a while.

Until then, take care of yourselves and hug the ones you love while you can. Seriously, do it. They don't last forever.
