Blood Binds - Chapter 2
After a long hiatus, Blood Binds is an active work-in-progress again. 

In Chapter One - after Hel's attack she had awakened to find that her estranged husband had mysteriously materialized to save the day. 

Chapter two gives us a taste of the shaky dynamics of the relationship between the wayfarer and the sorcerer; the infinite worlds separating them.

Blood Binds - Chapter 3
Updated 07/20/2009: In chapter three, a vampire arrives at the crack of Dawn and the sorcerer is displeased.

Goosegrade is by far one of the niftiest copy-editing solutions I've come across on the web and an absolute godsend for an editorially-challenged writer, such as myself.  Any website with the Goosegrade CopyEdit widget implemented, enables the reader to become a part of the process of perfecting a work, by sending an original copy of the selected text plus his/her suggested corrections or notes directly to the author/website owner. 

Website owners need only register at Goosegrade.com and install the widget to get started.  Readers who wish to utilize the CopyEdit feature on a Goosegrade enable website will need to Register at Goosegrade.com.  After that, you can use the CopyEdit feature on any website bearing one of the six variations of the CopyEdit button.  

The CopyEdit feature has been implemented on this site.
You can send me suggested edits on any page that this button appears:
