Butler Boy - Chapter 17 (Patreon)

Woo... this was a doozy. Big, important conversation.

I think it went pretty well, but I'd be interested in feedback on it. Took a lot of effort to get Arden to the point of talking clear enough to get his story across in a pseudo-deniable way, but still keep the imperfect voice of a thirteen year old - if a mature one - behind what he was saying.

Anyway... hope you enjoyed the chapter! Next up is A Hand We're Dealt, and...

Well, that chapter may be delayed due to inclement weather. For those watching the news, there's this whole 'polar vortex' thing going on and a huge line of freezing rain/sleet/snow coming in for the weekend. Historically... my area is in the deep south and does not have a good track record of dealing with winter weather.

I may be trapped at home over the entire weekend with the roads iced and impassible, is what I'm saying. Which would normally be great for writing, but if that happens, the power is almost certain to go out.

So we'll see! If the power stays on, I'll have the chapter up over the weekend as usual. If the power gets knocked out, it might be Monday or so before I can post it.

Thank you for your patience and support!
