Thank you Crimson. I was going to end the story soon as the major character arcs and motives will be intersecting, but maybe I will make it a continuous story even though it will take a lot of work to keep it going and still make sense. Even though I never enjoyed soap operas, I am beginning to appreciate the job those writers did in maintaining characters throughout a continuous plot. Difficult! A sequel would be easier.
But thanks! Your feedback keeps me going!
