1st

Just finished with Chapter XVIII of New Gaia, so go check it out and let me know what you think. :) Oh, and I want to thank everyone who's written to me about my absence because of the check forgery thing. You guys have been great and it's really made me feel good to know so many people care about what happens to me outside of just my storytelling. Thanks. :) Oh, and who thought Looking Death In The Eye was just one of the coolest episodes of the season, so far? I can't be positive, but that's the first time I can remember seeing Xena and Gabrielle fight side-by-side, as opposed to back-to-back or just individually in the same fight. That was awesome, even though it only lasted for a few seconds. :)

8th

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a day late with Part X of The Vampire Hunter, but it's up now, so go read it. I've just basically had my world turned upside down over night, though it's in a good way. At least, I sure hope so. I've just somehow gained a life without even trying. Anyway, between that and then Xena coming on just as I was finishing up with the editing process, the update was unavoidably delayed. Sorry about that. And I'm going to try to get some work done on A Bondage Primer, since just about every other e-mail I've been getting lately has mentioned that story above all others. I think you guys just like to be tortured. :) Oh, and please no irate e-mails about the "ending" of TVH. The sequel series, Bloodlines, will be taking up where TVH left off. In actuality, I'm really just changing the title because the original arc of the story is over and we're moving into a new one, which basically makes the upcoming installments a different story (you'll understand later), so don't worry. You'll be getting your vampire fix the same as before. It's just going to have different packaging. :)

11th

Well, I finished out Day 5 of A Bondage Primer (just scroll down to where Xena leaves, should be about 3/4 of the way down your scroll bar). I know, those of you who have been waiting none too patiently for an update on this one are probably thinking, "But that's where it ended the last time." Well, there was still the rest of the night. :) Anyway, it's not a really long update, only about 5 pages, but I did finally figure out a way around the "no touching" rule I'd created without actually breaking it, so let me know how I did. I realized I needed to do something or there was no way you guys were going to survive this story, let alone me. :) However, don't expect that kind of thing with each installment. Part of the fun is the torture of having something you want be so close and being forced to wait for it. :)

16th

Maybe I should just give up on this whole deadlines thing for my stories. For some reason, things just keep getting in the way on the days I've scheduled updates, so I end up being late all the time. Anyway, I've posted Chapter XIX of New Gaia. Let me know what you think.

I've also just had The Vampire Hunter reposted on a Xena fan fiction site that is specifically geared towards palm pilots, so if that's something that would be useful to you, go check it out at:

or you can go to the page that's been specifically set up for my story at:

http://xena.50megs.com/xenadocs/kodi.htm

There are a ton of other bards' works on this site (go to the first link to look at the most recent additions), so if you need palm pilot versions of your favorite fanfic stories, you should check the place out.

22nd

Okay, Part I of the sequel to The Vampire Hunter is now up. It's called Bloodlines and is picking up right where TVH left off. If you haven't read TVH, then Bloodlines probably won't make much sense. It's a sequel; go figure. :) Also, I kind of feel that this first part is a little rough, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Now go read. :)

23rd

Well, I've added Bloodlines to the Printer Friendly Versions section. I have also posted Chapter 2 of Prisoner of War (it's in the PFV section, too). It's not really finished, though. I mean, what's there is done, but there's a second half to the scene, which will be continued in Chapter 3, as soon as I get it done. So, it's up to you whether you want to read it now or wait for Chapter 3 to be posted. I've also had to restructure the POW section, so there is now a main page with links to the chapters, just like for my other multi-part stories.
