I&#8217;m not dead! Isn&#8217;t that great? I&#8217;ve just been super busy getting\u00a0<em>Second Chance<\/em> ready for it&#8217;s big day. When is that big day? Well, I&#8217;ll tell you on Monday, when I reveal the cover and release date right here on this very blog.<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, my serialized projects are back-burnered until June. If you&#8217;re a Patreon supporter, you should have gotten a message about that, and Wattpad followers of\u00a0<em>The Afflicted<\/em>\u00a0should also have gotten one, so this probably doesn&#8217;t come as a shock to any of you. But I&#8217;m covering my bases.<\/p>\n<p>In personal news, I&#8217;m so happy to announce that D-Rock&#8217;s dog, Muggsy, who lived with us for about a year while D-Rock also lived here, has come to stay permanently. You may remember my cousin D-Rock from our brief YouTube show,\u00a0<em>Roadhouse<\/em>. Nowadays she&#8217;s living in the Aleutian Islands, working as a hyperbaric welder and a boat nanny in Dutch Harbor. She recently made a very surprise visit to us. By very surprise, I mean that she didn&#8217;t call me before traveling all the way here. I was in bed and my bedroom door burst open with a shout of &#8220;Melissa!&#8221; to herald her arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Muggsy (a.k.a. Muggs, Mugzilla, Mugzoo, Tubbsy, and Tubszilla) the senior Pit Bull is our newest family member, and she looks pretty psyched to be here. I think she missed us:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10290\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10290\" style=\"width: 311px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160424_181845.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10290\" src=\"https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160424_181845-597x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A very smiley Pit Bull, being hugged by my equally smiley seven year old.\" width=\"311\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160424_181845-597x1024.jpg 597w, https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160424_181845-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/jennytrout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/20160424_181845.jpg 1487w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Also pictured: my genetic clone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, hence the lack of updates: I&#8217;ve been busy writing, editing, and snuggling this cute ass dog.<\/p>\n<p>Next week, I&#8217;ll return with an\u00a0<em>Apolonia<\/em> recap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everybody!
