Was booting up my computer just now and heard a 'pop!' From the enclosure that my data drive that I keep story rough drafts and old finished projects on. Opened the enclosure up and acrid smoke from the control board wafts up so the drive itself is dead.

Most of what I've been working on is backed up on Google drive so that is good. Unfortunately the finished files for the middle two books I had written for 'Terran Wars' are gone and I was seriously considering going back and posting these hear after a few changes:(
