Hey everyone!
I've just handed over the first half of chapter 121 to my editors, so I'm looking forward to finding out what they make of it. :-)
It's half-term here in the UK at the moment, which means my pace has slowed a little over the pace few days. I hope to have the chapter completed for you by the 14th April, but I'll let you know if there are any delays.

Here's the enhanced version of DaveB's masterpiece!
If this scene shows the girls after John pre-loaded them for combat, they must have sucked him inside out!
I'm inclined to think it's set 6 months after they've retired... by the looks they're all giving John, those pregnancy cravings are really kicking in!

Hey everyone!
I was contacted recently by DaveB who draws and writes the webcomic Grrl Power (see link below). He's a fan of TSM and decided to do a painting of the girls...
Wow!
I was really impressed by his attention to detail and it was awesome to see the girls together like that. I think he did a phenomenal job of capturing their personalities in their expressions......

I've just handed over the first half of the chapter to my editors. It comes in at 22.6k words, so about 50% larger than usual. The overall chapter might be a bit bigger than usual too, as I want to end it at a specific place in a very specific way... but I'm still on track for 31st March. :-)
I'll release another couple of Invictus deck plans over the coming few days (...

Hey everyone!
Here's the latest chapter, fresh off the keyboard!
It's over 30k words, which is normally where I stop, but I'm thinking of adding a final scene to wrap up Dana's big day in this chapter. If I do decide to do that, I'll try and get it finished tomorrow morning.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

I've handed over the first half of chapter 118 to my editors and I'm currently working on part 2. I'm hoping to have that completed in a few days' time, probably the 2nd or 3rd March.

Here's the latest chapter, sorry it took a bit longer to complete than I expected (It's a bit longer than usual).
I won't keep you waiting by writing a lengthy post. I've done a first pass of edits on part 1 but part 2 is fresh off the keyboard... so expect typos! :-)
