I actually didn't mean to abandon the book. I just lost the file containing the complete manuscript and I was unable to recover it. It's kinda hard starting afresh after completing a story. I promise once I've completed the dark journal I'll get started on this. I'm currently working on it and it's a bit draining alternating between work, chores and two stories. I'm really sorry for the delay. It won't be long now, I promise.
Thanks for your patience. My readers are the reason I write. I'll strive to complete the story. I know this shouldn't even count as a chapter. Sorry for the false hope.
