"If this issue seems a little disjointed, that’s because, well, it is. It was originally going to be more along the lines of “House of the Phoenix”, but there was so much that needed to happen between last issue and this one, it turned into a full issue on its own. It’s a lot of back story, things that could have just happened in the background without foreground explanation, but then people would’ve asked and I would’ve explained and there wouldn’t have been any sex scenes to go with the explanations. So here we are. As usual, my characters snuck in some bits about themselves I didn’t know.

MaxKreig pointed out that last issue felt like the end of season one. While I don’t see it quite that way, there is some retooling going on that would typically happen between seasons. That’s going to slow down next issue (and it slowed this one down) a bit.

As always, I want to hear what you think in the comments."

I agree that issue #8 felt like the end of a season - with a great teaser for the future. This issue was a great intro to the new season. Carry on, Author.
