The next chapter will be a little late, but by days, not months! I've been busy this past week, and combined with writing some future chapters instead, 79 will take a little longer. Expect it by this Friday, hopefully sooner. Just letting everyone know so you don't think I've dropped off the face of the earth again.

Thanks to everyone for reading, following, commenting, and reviewing, whether you found the story recently or have stuck around through the slow updates and hiatuses. I do read all the comments, and I appreciate you leaving them. Watch this space for more gratuitous violence soon.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

To tide you over, I'll drop an unsolicited shoutout for Plum Parrot's 'Cyber Dreams,' an FMC cyberpunk series which I've finally caught up on myself and have enjoyed a lot. It's fun to imagine what Sharkie and Juliet would think of each other too...
