Hello Readers,

Chapter 17 was Published prematurely. The screen froze and when I reset the screen it published. For those of you than cannot wait – feel free to read the unedited version(s). I have a series of editing steps that I perform but this one did not make it through those. I will be publishing the edited version with slight changes TODAY.

Again, I am sorry for the post and if you tried to click on the link (since it would not work). Thank you for continuing to read. Your feedback makes a difference and is part of the incentive to continue this story until the close.

Ww. joe
