Thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement. I'm really happy you're enjoying the story and it's super to have already attracted a few dedicated fans. In your case, the feeling is definitely mutual!

When it comes to promotion, I have to say that, at present, I'm wrapped up in the writing journey and any views and upvotes are sort of a bonus. Steemit is really encouraging me to write regularly, and for a serial procrastinator like me, that's amazing!

I'm sure at some point I'll focus more on promotion and getting more views, but for the moment I'm caught up in nurturing these ideas that are coming thick and fast (more time at the gym!). I already have ideas for more serialised stories after this one is finished, so even a slow-growing follower base is a good thing. ;)
