Work continues on Sooley Base. Gathering
notes, shuffling segments and bits and pieces – these are all part of my
eclectic process. The characters are set, a better timeline of the action is
being refined, to get this action in the best sequence.

Battle

The glossary is also being updated, and a revised summary of

Happy New Year!
