Howdy partners!

I owe each and every one of my patrons an apology at this point. It's been three long weeks since a new piece of The Cult of Maximus has been posted, and that one's on me. I could go into detail about the demands of the day job, social obligations and other things that have kept me from delivering the serial on time, but at the end of the day it comes down to a lack of preparation, organization and professionalism on my part. I'm truly sorry about this; you good folk have paid for weekly installments of this story, and I haven't kept up my end of the bargain.

I'll do what it takes to make this right, of course. Part 4 of The Cult of Maximus WILL be up this week on either Wednesday or Thursday; part 5 (which is the end of chapter 1) will be up next week. At this point I don't feel it's proper to over-promise and under-deliver, so the focus right now will be maintaining the weekly schedule that I've set out for.

While I'm working myself back into a regular schedule, I'll be brainstorming apology marshmallows for patrons at every tier. I want to make sure you folk know that I appreciate you sticking with me through this bumpy start and I'm working hard to regain your confidence.

The wallpaper for the Jackalope Serial Company AND the extra story, "Family Trees" will also be up this week at some point for all patrons and those who are paying at the $10 level and up, respectively. (Or do I have that backwards?) Next week, I'll have a little more information on the extras you can expect from me.

Again, I am truly sorry about the lack of story so far -- rest assured I'm doing my best to correct that and to make sure it's a lot less likely to happen in the future.
