The next chapter of the story is going to be a few days late -- my workload has been just that little bit too heavy, and it's only about a third done. Apologies to all for the delay; it should be finished and up within a week at the outside.
More than four centuries have passed since the industrial civilization of our own time stumbled to a halt under the self-inflicted burdens of peak oil, global warming, and drastic environmental change. Now, in the dark age landscape of deindustrial America, an unlikely band of seekers begins a quest for a place out of legend, where humankind may have talked with other worlds -- a place called Star's Reach.

"In The Fires of Shalsha Greer presents us with a fresh and intriguing look at the way a human society on a new planet might address its problems, with a spare, elegant style and an awareness of both psychic and psychological complexities reminiscent of Ursula Le Guin." -- Diana L. Paxson

Don't fret too much about it. We will enjoy it when it gets here.
Seems as though you have a lot on your plate lately. Make sure to stay reasonably sane through the busy-ness
Keep up the good work, JMG, thanks for all your writing.
Agreeing with Degringolade. It will undoubtedly be worth a little more wait.
Pope Gregory gave you an extra day to finish !
