Life got crazy, and I won't be able to put up The Bodyguard: Part Eighteen until tomorrow. However, since it's such a nice day out (in my corner of the world at least), it's the perfect day for being outside and going on a real-life adventure, which is what I am suggesting to all of my readers today. Lakshmi's saga will be out for all to enjoy tomorrow.

Enjoy the sun!

I updated The Bodyguard Saturday to include part 17. I'm truly writing by the seat of my pants at this point so hopefully I can maintain story continuity until I have time to get ahead of the updates again. That's the problem with working on the sequel to The Talented at the same time I'm writing this story.

​Pantsing or no pantsing, I hope you enjoy the story.

You can go on over and read Part Sixteen of The Bodyguard now. Comments and feedback are, as always, welcome.

Just a quick post saying that part 15 of The Bodyguard is up. It's a little shorter than normal, but that's because of a last minute plot adjustment that required me to build a few bridges, this being one of them.

So although it's short, I promise that this will lead us in a better direction than the old one would have.

Enjoy, and check back next Saturday for more!

For those of you who started reading a couple of years ago, I apologize for going MIA. I'm back now, and will be posting a new part of The Bodyguard every Saturday. I am currently plugging away at the sequel to what I wrote a couple of years ago, and hope to have that finished and ready by the time I am done putting out these first installments.

Although I have a good idea of what is going to happen, when it comes to serialized novels I always welcome input and my readers telling me what they like or don't like about the story. It could inspire future events!

Thank you to all who came back to read more once I started updating again, and welcome to all of the new readers. I hope you enjoy!
