Author's Note:

I hope you enjoyed this story; it's my first one for – and this means I screwed some things up.

I want to thank Zillian for significant efforts in Beta reading the story: You were helpful, supportive, and made me more confident that there was a point posting the story here.

My plan had been to post the acknowledgement AHEAD of the story, but I messed that up. Mea culpa, and sorry Zillian!

Other than that, if anyone has any feedback for me it will be gratefully received, and thanks for reading!

Yours,

Randall McShane.
