INTEMPERANCE IV, Chapter 26, Smooth Operator

Added 2021-01-27 06:23:11 +0000 UTC

And so is posted the final chapter of Intemperance IV. Thank you all for following along and supporting me through all of this. Please let me know, as always, how you liked this chapter in particular and Book IV in general. I will be working over the next few weeks to do a final edit and format of Book IV for Kindle format and publication on Amazon. At the same time, however, I will be transitioning into starting Book V (which will likely be the final book, but I can't say for sure at this point).

This issue came up after Book III published, so let me address it now. Several of my patrons asked me for a complimentary copy of Book III as a reward for supporting me. I would love to give out complimentary copies to all of you, but, unfortunately, Amazon does not even give ME a free copy of the story. Another case of the The Man keeping us down, I suppose. And as for the suggestion that I simply combine the entire story into one file... well, it does not behoove me to do that since there are those who would distribute the single file far and wide on the internet and thus remove any motivation for someone to actually purchase the final edition. I've said it before: I'm not getting rich doing this. I mostly do it for love of creating the story and I live for the feedback I receive. I have not been able to quit my day job by posting here on Patreon or selling the novels on Amazon. In fact, I make just enough that I have to deal with the IRS and don't have to take overtime shifts to get by. For this, I thank you all. Please hang in there with me if you enjoy the tale and Book V will start soon.
