Chapter 14 Now Available on My Website

[Bob Schroeck]

---

But right now, the predominant thought I have is an utterly fannish one.
More.

---

You and about 500 other people.

---

Seriously, the end of 14 was one of those wonderful moments, where the story completely and utterly owns you and you -are- there, even if you saw the scene coming, it still takes you and pulls you in headlong so that nothing else exists but the tale.

---

Thank you. I knew that some readers would remember that Doug had specifically asked Lisa to hire the Sabers, so yeah, I anticipated people seeing that scene coming. But I promise you, there are at least two things in the next chapter that I laid down in plain (or semiplain) sight, but which just might blindside you when they appear.

---

And then I realised there was nothing else yet. And I wanted to scream.

---

You wanted to scream? How do you think I feel? "Oh, god, another 130K to go..."

---

There are few stories that I can read that can command that sort of reaction from me, Bob. I'm happy to say that Drunkard's Walk has made its way onto that list.

---

Thank you, Poe. I just hope the last chapter is a worthy successor to all the praise the earlier parts have received.
