This is for all those who's given me support over the years and have been being patient and even not so patient for me to get my butt in gear and continue the damn story!
New chapter of "A Matter of Betrayal" in the "Series of Matters" trilogy posted.

Why the long, long, long hiatus?
I mentioned health issues and family issues and that's all true, but also I began to truly hate this story and the charaters.
It's like this, in the very beginning it really started with me thinking "I'll write a mother/son story." I established the characters in my head and from there they told me their story, I just wrote it down.
When I tried to outline the events that I thought should happen to the characters, tried to tell them what would happen, uh-uh, no way! They balked and stymied me.
The outline I had for them completely collapsed because, well, the characters just wouldn't go through with what I planned for them to do.
So I kind of gave up. I kept the story in the back of mind though. I kept thinking how I could get my characters back into the outline and then that evolved into what could I change to the outline to make it work for my characters until finally it was "To Hell With The Outline!"
And that's when Aileen and Colin and the rest started telling me how the story was going to progress, I again started just writing down and describing what they did. They were/are in control. And, you know what? I fell back in love with them for it.
Also, it's a pretty good thing all in all it happened this way because I think where the story is going now is immensely better than what I originally planned.
I was incredibly surprised by how effortlessly I slipped back into these characters, like no time had passed at all But I am painfully aware that time has passed. Six years is an awfully long time to be away from a continuing story. 6 YEARS! I swear it feels like less than a year since I left off from my perspective.
I am actually amazed, in my opinion at least, how easily the flow is from where the last chapter before the hiatus left off to where the new chapter starts. This is not just a new story with new characters that have only been slapped with the names of Colin, Aileen, Sheryl, and Seth, this is the genuine continuation of 'A Matter of Betrayal'.
So the best news I could hear from any readers that care to comment, besides it's still a really good story
, is that where the story picks back up after chapter 12 is pretty seamless.
Now, I have no planned out schedule for when more chapters are to be coming, nor have I written much more yet, but I so plan to keep this story going and the wait for chapter 14 will be considerably less.
Thank you all you wonderful readers out there who have all supported me!
