Hi Everyone!
As many of you can relate, family and work have cut severely into my writing time. I tried to work on both East Harbor stories at the same time and didn't feel like I was making progress with either. On that note, I decided to focus my time on Michael's story since I was well into writing it (Chapter 2 of Derek is in first draft whereas I've only published about 60% of what's written of Michael's story).
This little, blond imp will continue to make appearances in Michael's story in the meantime. Then, I'll circle back with his story to fill in the gaps. I think the delay will be a good thing for all. My brain has been fleshing out that story more and it's only getting better.
Take care and be assured, you be reading a lot more about Derek and his friend!
