PROTECTION (getting there)

Been struggling with my brain for a day or two, it's not been spitting out words like it should. These things happen when you refuse to take a break from thinking, but after several arguments with myself, I won, and the damned brain's got into gear again and I'm firing on all cylinders. Seventeen chapters now in the bag and I've deviated again from the plot. I thought you folks deserved another shock, so I did something quite naughty and took myself on a road to an unexpected ending. Only a week or two left and my gals and Jerry will be leaving my head for good. I hate writing the last few chapters; it's like saying goodbye to friends knowing you're never going to see them again, unless of course, they're resurrected. But resurrecting characters often deprives the writer of getting to know new main characters, We'll see how it goes. Still on course to publish PROTECTION before the end of March.
