Thank you! This is an experiment, so we’ll see how it works. I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. (I didn’t like The Da Vinci Code either, and the “this could all be true!” angle rankled me.)

Pretty cool first chapter. I’m a sucker for Grail stories, especially ones set someplace like New Orleans (loathed The Da Vinci Code, though. Total shill work by an industry hack). The vampire angle’s not new; I’ve used it myself. But you do a good job with it, so I didn’t mind. The first few pages, I thought he was a fallen angel, so it was at least a revelation for me to find out he was a vampire.

Anyway, I dropped a little in the kitty for the appearance of chapter two. Don’t have much right now, but I can give a little for each chapter as it comes.
