VERY NICE

For anyone here who hasn't read these books, I highly recommend them. Sigil, IMO, is one of the best fanfic authors here.  8)

~blush~ You are too kind MechRat! 

At this point the stories are edited to the point where I'm not completely embarrassed although the missing scene from "Serpents and Snakes" still bugs the hell out of me.  Maybe when I'm done with the rest of the edits, I'll circle back to that one and add a chapter or two.  So far they Chronicles are holding up well and I'm tightening the overall story arc quite nicely, adding a bit here, deleting a bit there and sharpening up the plot.

Glad to have put a smile on your face.  There is second series that I am in progress of editing.  Not sure when I'll finish grinding through that, I'm still distracted by the TRO: 3028 project.  Probably this fall.

My pleasure.  I grew a lot as a writer as I moved through these Novellas.  I always wanted to write a BattleTech story and every time I hear that someone has taken the time to read it, it puts a huge smile on face as it makes all those endless hours of writing and editing worth every minute!

It must make you feel terrible to know I have reread the whole story twice whilst on holidays.
Sitting on a beach reading about the 69th, what could be more relaxing. [cheers]

I felt like I did a quite a bit of cleaning up and streamlining and also tried to develop the underlying story arc a bit more.  Just today in fact I was re-reading the escape from Alshain and fretting over what I've come to think of as the "missing scene."

Before this summer is over, I'm going to go back in there and fix it once and for all.  I expanded it a bit from the original already but there is still so much left unwritten there.  Aside from that, when I went back through it, I was pretty pleased for the most part :) 

Also on the plate is to edit and republish the second saga along with new cover art.  Thanks for dropping me a line!
