Writing and Galactic Chronicles Stories in 2012

Dear Friends and dear readers of the Galactic Chronicles stories I post on Fiction Press,

a reader today send me a message asking:



yes I plan to finish this and all my stories. I am currently completing Book X. There are only a few chapters left. Then I post the chapters to Book XI that will finish the Olafson story arch. Then I will rewrite and complete the story of Roy Masters. (I think I should be done by March.
 Sorry for the wait. I am not a professional writer and must work and so I can only post 1-2 chapters a week. But I will finish it, I promisse. Thank you for reading and thank you for commenting and caring enough to write and ask.
 In the mean time I hope you might find my other stories entertaining enough to pass the time till then...;-) I also would like to point you to my Wiki with lots of Info (It is still growing but has a few pages on Green Hell etc)

With this I want to wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year and I hope I will be able to retain you as a reader and entertain you as well.
Yours truly

I originally posted a different Chapter 15 to Book X of the Galactic Chronicles (you can read the deleted chapter here: http://galnet.wikia.com/wiki/Alternative/_Deleted_Chapter_13_(Of_GC_X) )
 
The reaso I took this one down is, because one of my dear friends, fans and readers said it was too confusing. After reading it, I had to agree and wanted to rewrite it.
But then my external Hard Drive, the one I keep all my Story material on, crashed for unknown reasons.
I had t send it in to : http://www.salvagedata.com/  who did a great job..but it took them almost 4 weeks to get it done. They recovered almost 80% of the files.
But in that time I was so angry at the world that I didn't find the peace of mind to write and then I wrote a new Chapter 15.
It turned out quite different to the one I had posted originally, but I still going to use the deleted oen and will recycle some of it in one of the upcoming chapters)
 
Just in case you wondered

Involuntary Break

I am sorry friends; sorry for the long break. But my external hard drive with all my story files crashed and I had to send it to a specialist company to recover the files.
It took them almost 4 weeks and it cost me nearly 900 Dollars, but they recovered 80% of the files and that was worth it. I have opened an account with Iron Mountain and uploaded all my files there.

So I am back now and you can expect regular updates again.
