Hello Eric, I am currently reading The Woodward Academy - on year 4.  Just wanted to send a quick note and say that I am thoroughly enjoying what you've put together.
Thanks for your efforts and keep up the good works.  This is the first story I've read of yours and I'm sure when I finish I'll try another.  Have a great day,
-johnny

Your Woodward books are by far the most entertaining set I have read on this site!  I do however have one question.  Lol, now call me fickle, I suppose, but in this chapter, after David introduces his blood bank potion to the lamias, they ask if the potion will even work on him.  He tells them yes, temporarily, or something along those lines.  Well, that got me thinking.  How exactly did he get erections, if he had no blood?

David is a magical creature. He was created by magic. Magic is how he got erections.

How did he do anything but lie on the ground and rot, with no blood?  How did his body not suffer continuous cramps without blood to carry away the lactic acid in his muscles?  How did his brain function without the oxygen that blood would have carried to it?  How did his cells have the energy to move without the blood supplying glucose to them?

The answer to all of this, of course, is that David is a magical creature, and magical creatures do not follow the rules of normal biology.  How do pegs fly on wings that are much too small?  Magically.  How do mermaids breathe without gills?  Magically.  How does David get an erection without blood to cause it?  Magically.
