Update!

I'm posting this new chapter as rough draft and will follow through with some edits tomorrow. If you can't wait until tomorrow, well it's here to read now.

I'm really hoping that you like where the story is going.  It's fun to right, but the timing of everything I need to happen is a little tricky.  That is part of the cause for the delay, but at least I'm getting the words on the page.

Mid-Season Cliff Hanger aka: I got Sick

There are a few things which kill the urge do to anything so well as getting sick. It seems that my limit of days I can endure with a 102.5 degree fever is at around 4, more then that and I'm heading to the emergency room.

The bad news is that due to the illness and having internet issues I wasn't able to get online. The good news is that I'm back now, life is returning to normal, and that means there is an update.  The link is below:

So I hope you'll forgive me due to my illness. I'm going to continue things now, and I hope you enjoy the next portion of the story because I'm enjoying writing it.

Chapter 5 Now!

I figured you had waited long enough for the next chapter.  There might be a few typos or bad punctuations in this draft and I apologize.  I'll fix it tomorrow after a good nights sleep.  For now, if you can overlook a possible wrong word, or a misplaced comma, then read away!

Nurse Summers begins

Hello and welcome to the new serial. This is a character that I created last year for David Wellington's Fear Project, but the story seemed to take on a life of it's own. Before long I found myself deep in vampire lore and making a vampire of my own.  This is the culmination of that work. Should everything work out well (computers not exploding and what not) I should have a new chapter for you each Sunday.

A few questions I would like to address before you get started. I don't feel any of these are spoilers, more questions that came up a few times during the creation process.  Many of them will be addressed in the story, but knowing it shouldn't lessen the impact.

1) This is not Buffy Summers. I had wanted to use a name that was opposite of her grim demeanor in the first chapter. Summer seemed like the perfect opposite and it wasn't until my wife read it that she pointed out the Buffy reference.  Not that it's a bad thing, but these vampires don't dust when you kill them. The amount of blood would more aptly belong in an Evil Dead movie.  If you want to imagine this is a different Buffy for a different world you can, but I won't support it.

2) The setting is very modern times. As much as I'd like to do a throwback, the story doesn't belong there.

3) Vampires only started existing in this world about 20 years ago. Before that time they were the villains of the silver screen and novels alike.

4) These aren't your normal vampires, you'll understand as you get into the story. You will get into the explanations as the story goes on, but know that if you're expecting Bram Stoker you'll be sorely disappointed.

A final note, this is your last week to find "A Wolf in Patchwork Clothing" on the site. It'll be pulled down when I post next week's chapter. You will be able to find it online on Amazon both in print and in Ebook format.
