Wrote down notes for another book I am working on. It is one of the nonfiction books. Not sure yet if I will turn these notes into new chapters.

Got a response from Aniko on where to find the info and pictures I needed. Unfortunately, it's a dead end -- LITERALLY! Had to do some more research on the Bathory family to find someone who could fit into the story and learned there is a POSSIBLE cousin from her Uncle Stephen that she had. (It is possible he had many illegitimate children.) Works for me! Since this story is based on a theory about the Bathorys and Elizabeth herself, a "possible" cousin works for the purpose of fiction. Now I just have to give him a name!

Did more research on Elizabeth Bathory and finished revising that part of the novel. Now to move on to the other part!

Resumed research on Elizabeth Bathory for my novel revisions. Was surprised to learn that she has quite a big following! Also surprised to find out that there are people claiming that she was innocent (they claim she was framed). Learned about a cousin who would fit perfectly in the role of the relative at the story’s beginning who turns her. It helps that he was rumored to be the thing that he is in the story! Was unable to find out what he looked like so I shot off an email to Aniko to see if she can learn anything in her country (Elizabeth’s country).

Worked on novel revisions for the vampire horror novel.
