After an unexpected and unannounced break I am back - sorry to the readers of A&E and Afterfall, unfortunately personal health and work comes first. I will notify you all once I am able to get back to a normal writing schedule. While hopefully will be this weekend. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the delay once again. HDT

Hi everyone, I really must apologise for my lack of presence these last few weeks. There has been some massive life changes that have left me with very little free time. But I will be back to writing this week and focusing on getting the rest of Ashes out as quickly as I can. Once again, life gets in the way of hobbies unfortunately as I'm sure many of you can relate to at times. I'm looking forward to getting back into it this weekend. Thanks for your patience.

And another chapter goes live for Ashes... chapter 32 is here. I've got the next few chapters written, so hopefully with a little polish they should be out sooner rather than later. Unfortunately real life has been quite busy again. But we are almost there.

Chapter 31 of Ashes and Embers is now live. It's been a productive week as promised with several more chapters completed. They just need a little more polish before going live, so keep an eye out for it this week. Thanks for read, and for all the feedback, it is much appreciated. HDT

My week of writing has begun. And it starts with the next Chapter of Ashes and Embers

Another week done and another chapter goes live - I'm a little behind schedule, but progress is progress.
Chapter 27 of Ashes and Embers is now live - https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/1357531

Chapter 26 is now live for Ashes and Embers - things are definitely escalating quickly. One aspect I have really enjoyed writing in this story has been Ashe's journal.
--
"My mother once told me that there are two things in life that make us see the world as it really is. Until they happened, she explained, a part of us sleeps and is only awakened by killing off the last of our deepest childish fantasies. On that day my mother was teaching me about the birds and the bees, as it were. But it was the second thing she spoke of that suddenly felt prescient. She told me that killing another person it would leave a mark on my soul as well, and that it irrevocably changes us. She was right, as she often was, though I felt no remorse at what I'd done. Instead, it left a pit in my stomach. A black hole that would mean the end of whatever was left of my innocence, and a darkness that would come to define much of the person I was becoming." - Ashe's journal. https://www.inkitt.com/stories/scifi/1357531

After an unusually busy week or two, I'm back to writing. My apologies for the delay on the most recent chapters, unfortunately I had a few personal situations to address.
In any case, chapter 25 of A&E is now live.
