Sounds like you've made some really cool discoveries this month. Good luck with the second part of the last chapter! And I know what you mean about a bittersweet feeling but I like to think instead of my guys as taking a little well-earned vacation until I come back to them in a few weeks when it will be time to do a lot of cleaning and polishing (and yeah, there are a couple of pot holes that need filling and patching).

As for those dark forces... um, well let's just say that my protagonists have won the day but not the battle... yet ;-)
