Like so many others, I am seriously emotionally invested in this series. I have sent an email and message etc. however heard nothing back in over a month.
I did a little internet detectivism though and found a couple pieces of information that paint a fairly unhappy picture though.
1 - I believe Hamen Cheese is from the Philippines: http://risingup.phoenix-writing.com/2011/02/qa-with-hamen-cheese/
2 - The user profile on these forums reports: "Last Active Nov 12 2013 11:49 AM" https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/user/11525-hamen-cheese/
3 - That specific date stood out in my memory:
"...known in the Philippines as Typhoon Yolanda, was one of the strongest tropical cyclones ever recorded, devastating portions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, in early-November 2013.[1] It is the deadliest Philippine typhoon recorded in modern history,[2] killing at least 6,300 people in that country alone.[3]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon_Haiyan
It is my sincerest hope that Hamen Cheese is alive, healthy, preoccupied with other obligations, and will some day return to share the rest of this series.
