Hello everyone,

I wanted to personally take a moment to catch everyone up on what's been the delay in getting the next issues of Highburn titles out and where some of your commissions are. For the better part of the year I have been going back and forth to the state of Virginia over the care of my Mother. Unfortunately, this has been a huge struggle with both her physical and mental state and with all of the hoops and hurdles that need to be crossed for the State of VA.

On one front, this battle has neared it's end, due to her diagnosis with Dementia and how quickly it has accelerated in the past year, my Mother will be going into permanent care at a facility in VA in November.

I want to thank you all for your continued support, and your patience as I've navigated a very challenging and personally painful year. I look forward to getting Highburn back on track as well as getting everyone's commissioned work out as soon as possible.

-Michael
