I ended up working with an Editor that gave me some GREAT advice and the result was changing up some aspects of the story. So...I've been creating new pages, re-writing existing pages, etc. Hoping to have a large page dump happen in the next month or two. Many, many new pages are on the way.

Can't throw stones, glass houses and all, but other work may have taken John away from it. It's a project very close to home, so I'm sure he will return to it in time. I wish I knew!

Sorry there are so few of those kind words. I will say you pull no punches; the only thing Paddy's been spared so far is the war, but that'd take him out of town. I will also recommend to folks that they read THE GREAT SHAME by Thomas Keneally, for a detailed portrait of Irish home politics during the Blight, and for the story of what happened to many of Paddy's fellow countrymen: transportation to Australia. 'Transportation' makes it sound like a cruise liner took them there. http://www.amazon.com/Great-Shame-Triumph-Irish-English-Speaking/dp/0385720262/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1331946599&sr=8-8 Also add to your list of books the beautifully-drawn GONE TO AMERIKAY, http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Amerikay-Derek-McCulloch/dp/1401223516/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331946835&sr=8-1 drawn by Colleen Doran and written by Derek McCulloch, due out April 4th.
