I actually have the next installment of “The Gathering Storm” almost completed, but it might be a few days before I get it up. Problem is that I start introducing a character only seen in passing before, Crazy Jane, and I feel like I need to do a one-shot story backtracking a little from her first appearance to set the stage for the unfolding of who she is and what she will be doing.
Of course, that wouldn’t have been much of a problem either (i.e. I should have been able to knock out that story by now) except that as Valentine’s Day approached, I realized I probably shouldn’t break my streak of having a stand-alone story for most major celebratory/holiday times, and so I spent my time throwing together a Doctor Holiday story instead (Tough Love) at the last minute.
Rest assured, the Crazy Jane stand-alone story, “Insanity Peal,” is indeed already in progress, and I hope to have it up this weekend, followed shortly thereafter by chapter 13 of “The Gathering Storm.”
