Hello All

First of all...I'm very sorry for my lack of communication this past month. I haven't meant to ignore you all or leave you waiting on pins and needles. My work schedule (yeah, I do have a normal life...I have a job and all that) really sped up in August. In fact, two weeks ago I worked every single day without any time off! Ahh!

Then, last week I was given a wonderful reprieve--Family Vacation. Oh, what a wonderful time. I was out of normal life for a whole blissful week of beach volleyball, swimming, canoeing, running, back- and front-flipping (off a diving board) and general fun-having. It was amazing and just what I needed. I was pretty burnt out and didn't exactly want to start my freshman year of college in such a state.

On that note, it's pretty weird that I'm a college student now. I'm so used to thinking of myself as a highschooler. Huh.

Anyway, to update you on Zoe. Firstly, in response to something "Mouse" wrote the other day, I have not been offended by the comments left here. Well, that's not strictly true...I have been in the past, but I hope I'm mature enough to have gotten over it, lol. And that is certainly not the reason there has been no movement in the story.

There will be no more chapters of Zoe. At least not if I'm not completely surprised by a burst of inspiration and write something that I have no idea about. Before you all start wailing and dying and complaining, hear me out. I will be writing an epilogue, a rather lengthy one that will probably appear as a "part something-or-other" in the final draft. I'm planning on dividing Zoe into parts and the epilogue will become one of those. The point is, I'm pretty sure everything you want to be resolved yet will be resolved in the epilogue. Aiden/Kristalyn/Zoe/Tancred will meet. Zoe and her twin will be reunited. Zoe will be home again, at least for a little while.

But, I'm afraid I can't promise how soon that will all be written and posted. Aiden and Zoe need to be on the same page (literally) before the epilogue can be properly written. I'm waiting on Charissa to some extent, to get Aiden to where he needs to be. Don't groan too loudly, he's actually almost there. :-) Once we're both ready, we can finish our stories at the same time. And then, I promise, we'll post it here. I'm hoping it will be worthy of all your patience and devotion. I've really enjoyed getting to know all of you through this story. So again, thanks for your patience and I will post more as soon as is feasible.

Thank you,
Emily
