I’m stealing a moment to let you all know that unexpected family responsibilities will drag me away from Lothere for a week or so. I should be back right after Christmas, Inch’allah. 
Here’s a sneak preview of the half-written upcoming chapter. Hopefully it will be up before the new year, but for now you can amuse yourself drawing funny thought bubbles over the heads of Malcolm’s mom, sister-in-law, and best buddy Cearball.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Have a fun but safe Christmas Meryt! 
Damn those familial responsibilities! 
Very merry and safe Christmas to you, Mr. Lothere, and Mr. Stinkypants.
Cearball makes the greatest faces, doesn't he? 
I thought Malcolm's Mum was dead?
Assuming you mean Sir Malcolm's mom, she's still alive and doing fine. Malcolm is just afraid he'll never see her again, since he can't leave the valley.
All this time, I thought that woman was dead???
It makes me wonder what other delusions I'm laboring under.
Merry Christmas, Lothere! Hope everything's all right with your family.
Merry Christmas to you! Enjoy your family time and don't worry. I guess we'll all be here when you get back. ^^
I can't get over how gorgeous Malcolm's mom is....
Merry Christmas, Lothere. ^_^
Cearball - "Duuuude, you didn't tell me your Mum was such a hottie!"
Malcom's mum thinks - "And you didn't tell me your friend had such a fine looking rump"
Malcom's sister-in-law - "Phwoaaaaar"
Merry Christmas Lothere!
“I knew her father, and by ‘knew’ I mean I busted his face once.”
Chapters
"I really thought she was a castle maid, but then your Mother corrected me. One thing led to another ..... you'll be happy to know you'll be a brother in nine months! Oh, by the way, I was hoping Connie and I could marry in June!"
"Here, Malcolm. Why don't you use my knife to carve the ham!"
Safe Travels Mr. and Mrs. Lothere!! Hope all will be well with the family! Happy Holidays!
