11/23/04 - I have decided on a name for the new story that I’m working on (the one with Irikara and Ranma). It will be called “Tabi No Sora,” which in Japanese means “Away From Home.” In addition, I have been working on the character profiles for the story, as well as creating questions that I can use to “interview” them with, in an effort to get to know them better. Also, the story Mind’s Eye is coming along. I hope to have the first chapter of it up soon.

11/23/04 - Chapters 18 and 19 of Aijou & Aitou are available on ff.net. They have not been posted on this site, but I will try to accomplish that soon.

10/08/04 - I greatly apologize for the lack of updates to both this site and my stories. Since my last update, I have been working a minimum of 70 hours a week, and often more than 80. This has made it quite impossible to do much of anything outside of work other than spend a little time with my family. Fortunately, the project at work that was consuming all of my time is finally winding down, and I am now able to focus on my writing again. Here is a list of updates regarding this site and my fiction writing.

My list of technical articles has been updated again (this will be a monthly process). You can view it here.
Chapters 16 and 17 of Aijou & Aitou were posted on fanfiction.net quite a while ago. They have not been posted on this site, but I will try to accomplish that this weekend.
I have printed out a full copy of Aijou & Aitou and plan to read through it again this weekend before I continue writing it. I want to make sure that everything is fresh in my mind before I pick it up again. I hope to have a new chapter ready by the following weekend.
My friend Dy has completed two new drawings for one of the future stories that I am outlining. She did a truly amazing job on both. You can view them here and here
I have the makings of two stories in the works that I plan to write along side of A&A. The first is the one relating to the pictures above (which does not yet have a name). The second will be called Mind’s Eye, and will be a story told from the first person perspective of Akane. I hope everyone will enjoy them.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who wrote to me during my long absence and inquired as to my status. I appreciate your patience and I hope to reward it by providing good chapters for you to read. Thanks again.

05/03/04 - My good friend Dy (aka evikted) has completed a drawing of an original character of mine. The two of us collaborated for quite a while to get everything just right. All I can say is: WOW!
