The Blood Bridal Chamber is complete!

Forgive the crappy graphic, I will fix it when I get back home. Anyway, my translation of Ximen Ding’s fourth book in his Amazing Hawk Constables series, The Bloody Bridal Chamber, is complete! You can read it here at Wuxia Wanderings, or download the ebook file. If you click the ebook download link, the download will begin immediately. It’s an epub file. If you’re using a Kindle I recommend using Send to Kindle to send it to your device.

This is a short novel, about 50,000 words in English. If you like whodunnit murder mysteries mixed with your wuxia, give it a shot!

The Bloody Bridal Chamber translation project

I’m away from home at the moment and away from my main PC to make graphics and such, but I have still been working. I’m starting to post chapters to a book in the Amazing Hawk Constables wuxia murder mystery series by Hong Kong author Ximen Ding. Well it’s not Venomous Schemes like I said in my previous post, but The Bloody Bridal Chamber is another book in the same series, book 4 to be exact, first published in issue #1129 of Wuxia World magazine on February 16, 1981.

I’m just posting as I translate it, three chapters up right now. Almost done with the fourth. Proper title card graphic and ebook (if ready to be made by then) and such will have to wait till I get back home in a month or so.
