It has been a long time since my last update, and I do apoligize. Grog VII is plugging along in its final plot arc (of the novel, not the series). My wifes second hip replacement of the year (she’s doing great, btw) and the resulting caretaking has taken a big bite out of my time and attention to writing, but G-7 is now just shy of 68k words, with the goal of 80k comfortably in my sights.
