This is the End of Book 2:
I'll begin posting Book 3 in a couple of weeks. I wanted to get past the American Thanksgiving holidays. I also wanted some time for all those who have waiting to read the completed story to finish before starting on it. While this isn't technically the whole thing, I'm sure I'll have several people anxious to read what I've got.
The story will resume the Tuesday/Wednesday after Thanksgiving.
