Hello all!

Welcome to the first day of spring and a new chapter in Season of Darkness.

There's a new vampire in the gens, and Toni's responsible for him. It's her first time bringing someone through suborior. As if she doesn't have enough on her mind, Kenneth gets in trouble dragging her further into a conspiracy.

Leaving the Light Updates Season of Darkness Chapter 29

Hi all,

I hope winter has treated you well and is almost gone. I've posted the newest chapter and have at least one more chapter stockpiled for the winter.

While many things are disguised as fun and games in the vampire world, Toni learns the truth behind them and some of the vampires' most well kept secrets.

Talk to you all next month!

Leaving the Light Updates Season of Darkness Chapter 28

Hi All,

Amazing! I was able to post another chapter within a month!

Life is pretty non-stop for Toni as she is given another assignment by the Queen, has her own plans to deal with, Keir keeps her busy with training for a tournament, and spend time with Bram. Some things are likely to fall by the wayside.

I wish to know if you feel some things are explained here or if I'm making things more confusing?

Leaving the Light Updates Chapter 27 uploaded

Happy New Year all!

It looks like I made it just in time. I finally posted the next chapter of Season of Darkness for you.

Toni often surprises me with the choices she makes and directions she takes this story into despite what I may have planned for her. There's two instances in this chapter that she caused me to alter my plans slightly. She's a tricky girl that one. Beware though, there is more to come (the future ones should be transparent for you but believe me, they rocked my world).

After her own life changing isolation, Toni isn't given much time to rest. Keir takes her to Phoenix with Bram in tow where she gets in more trouble and it doesn't end when she gets back.

Leaving the Light Updates Chapter 26 posted!

2011-11-08T23:45:01Z

Hi all!

Sorry for the long delay! I've been writing on various items and have been away from "Leaving the Light" for some time. I'm back though and have posted the next chapter. I hope it keeps up with the expectations people often get after a long absence. If you've forgotten what happened previously on SOD you can check here;
http://www.thetesseract.org/~cschnell/LtL/sod_previously.html

Toni is back at the Vampire complex and her life isn't getting any easier. Trouble has been brewing while she was away, but she's forced to deal with a more pressing issue.

Hope to be sending another update soon!

Leaving the Light Updates Season of Darkness Chapter 25

2011-03-29T11:15:17Z

Hi all!

Are you dying for a new chapter? Good, I got one for you!

Previously on Season of Darkness;

Since becoming a vampire, Toni's gotten herself into many difficult situations. The humans who once were her friends now feel betrayed by her. Even her own creation, Sabertooth, seemed determined to turn against them all. Lacey especially had reason to not trust her as she nearly killed her, yet she remained her friend. She's killed several people including the man who was like a father to her. She's found that not only is she telepathic, but she has relived some of her own past lives, as well as the lives of those who's souls she has taken. And with those past realizations she's happened across the fact that she is somehow related to Bram. Even while worrying about what all these past incidents mean, she must also worry about her future, it's not only the vampires and slaves who believe she will one day become Queen, but also Velren, who mysteriously seems to know more about her than she knows herself. She also found she had a taste for a certain type of blood: vampire
blood.
All of this culminated into her most significant suicide attempt. She tied herself to trees and waited for the sun to bake her only to nearly be killed by Velren, but instead saved by a couple hiking drug addicts and Bram guiding their way. With Bram she began to recover but killed an innocent wannabe Vampire, Jocelyn. With her future now uncertain because of all this, Keir sends them on a mission of redemption, or is it a trap? Her hunger grows and she attacks more people killing them and creating disaster in her wake while Bram tries to keep her under control. They don't go unnoticed as two sicari (hunters) who also happen to be vampires follow her trail. After catching up with her she kills one of them lusting after his vampire blood. But she's unable to get to the second due to the amount of bullets hitting her, she and Bram are taken down. It doesn't take long for Kama and Urquhart to come to their rescue, and with their help she doesn't kill the other sicarus b
ut befriends him.

Now they return to the domus, but not until after another small adventure in venatus (slave hunting). Toni's ordered directly by the King to bring in a new slave. But like all the choices in her life, this one might send her down a worse path.

Hi all,

As some of you may seen on my facebook/twitter feed, I made "Leaving the Light" available to read again, but this will be the only time I'm posting the link. I'm still hoping to get it published one day, but I'm being picky about it so it probably won't be published for a while.

http://www.thetesseract.org/~cschnell/draftold/Leaving_the_Light_origprint.pdf

I may eventually post "Season of Darkness" as well. In the meantime, I should have the next chapter ready within the next week.

-Christine.

Leaving the Light Updates Season of Darkness Chapter 24

2010-09-20T19:29:22Z

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience. I know I haven't been too speedy with these new chapters, but believe me I am working hard on other parts of the book as well.

Here's the new chapter of Season of Darkness. It will be available on-line only for a short time. Sorry but I'm now keeping tighter control on these in hopes of it being published one day.

So Chapter 24 sees the culmination of Toni's plan to get rid of Dwayne the vampire hunter. She's also still learning to adjust to her own abilities and gets a bit confused over things, I hope you don't as well.

Until next time,
-Chrisitne.

Leaving the Light Updates Season of Darkness Chapter 23

2010-06-06T11:35:51Z

Hello all,

I'm happy to let you all know I've finished the next chapter in Season of Darkness. It will be available only at the link given below for a limited time. Approximately a month.

Toni and Bram's mission starts off with a bang and goes down hill from there. With two deaths already on her hands, will a third hurt or help?

http://www.thetesseract.org/~cschnell/LtL/sod_ch23.pdf

If you have any comments or questions don't hesitate to contact me.
-Christine.

I ask that you don't copy or distribute any part of the file. You may share the link. Again I apologize for the strictness of this but in order for me to publish this series it has to be done.

Leaving the Light Updates stay up to date

2010-04-09T09:15:23Z

Hi All,

I may not be posting any new chapters but I'm still working pretty hard on Leaving the Light. As I'm also not updating the mailing list as often, I thought I'd create a Facebook Fan Page to keep you all up to date. Then I figured, what if they all don't have facebook? Well, I also created a twitter account and linked my semi-defunct Myspace page to them as well. So now you can get an update from one of these three places.

Facebook
Twitter
Myspace

You can also find these links on Leaving the Light's homepage.

Right now you'll see that I'm deep in the middle of a rewrite and cleaning up the early chapters. I still am working on Season of Darkness, though it's a lower priority right now. I will send a mail out from time to time when I have major news.

Thank you all for supporting me and enjoying my story,

-Christine.
