Jal,
seeing an opportunity for himself yelled, “Life for life.” Lucifer watched as
Rayus tried to warn his dad by tugging on his arm.
That
evil grin appeared on Lucifer’s face once again as he said, “Jal, was that
you?”
Seizing
his opportunity he said, “Yes, my Lord Lucifer.”
In this
second book of the God Chronicle trilogy, Thomas, God’s Last Prophet, realizes
that the only way to beat Lucifer, and prevent Armageddon is by stopping the
birth of the Antichrist. In his efforts to find Lucifer, Thomas gets bonked on
the head by the Pope using a religious artifact, gets beat up by Gypsies, and
almost killed by demons. Eventually, Thomas teams up with a stuttering genius
that is possessed by a fallen angel. The unlikely threesome seems to click on
all cylinders as they work together and chase Lucifer through Europe. Will
collaborating with a fallen angel prove to be a bad choice?

Book Excerpt:
Who are you, Thomas, and what do you want from me?”
Thomas said, “You may find this hard to believe. I still find it
hard to believe myself, but I am God’s last prophet.”
The pope looked at Thomas, scrutinizing him closely. Thomas could
see that he was looking for a sign or some indication that what he claimed was
either true or false.
His Holiness walked up to Thomas, reached into his robes, looked
him in the eyes, and said, “Forgive me, Thomas.” He pulled a small ornate bat
from under his robe, and he whacked Thomas squarely on top of his head. Thomas
fell over and hit the ground like a dropped sack of potatoes.
When Thomas finally regained consciousness, he found himself lying
on a very comfortable couch with the pope seated across from him still holding
the ornate stick. As Thomas’s eyes began to focus, the pope held up the
hand-carved wooden bat and said, “It is a religious relic, given to Saint Peter
by Christ.”
Thomas looked at the pope and said, “Your Holiness, you could have
just asked me, and I would have told you that I am not a demon.”
The pope eyed Thomas with a new respect as he asked, “Why would
you say that, Thomas?”
“I can only assume that you thought that I might be a demon, so
you hit me over the head to see if I healed quickly like a demon or slowly like
a man. Is that truly a religious relic of power?”
The pope laughed and said, “Saint Peter called it daimon ksilo.
I believe the term to be old Greek, and in translation, it would be called a
demon stick. Apparently, Jesus had a sense of humor. Peter wrote in his
memoirs: ‘When I questioned Jesus on how I could tell if I were talking to a
demon or a man, he gave me the ornate stick that I pass down to my successors.
My Lord said, “Hit the suspect demon over the head, and if he heals faster than
a man, he is a demon.”’ You, Thomas, are obviously a man with information that
only popes have possessed in the past.”
Thomas said, “I am just glad you didn’t kill me to see if I
disappeared into the nether.”

Is It Time To Write
Your First Novel?
Make no mistake, writing a novel will take up a lot of your
time. You have to evaluate your priorities before you start to write that
story. I was married, had five boys, a dog, worked a daily job, was subjected
to forced overtime, I was finishing my degree, had kids in baseball,
basketball, football, track, karate, and a host of other things going on. I
wanted to write, but it just wasn’t my time.
Once you finally decide it is your time to write, you have a
few more things to do to be successful. If you work, you have to leave the
house at a specific time. While at work, you have a designated lunchtime. Work
ends at a specific time. You probably see where I’m going with this- a time for
everything. Find a time of day that you can put at least an hour or two aside
for writing. This time can change seasonally like it does for me, or it may
work for you year round.
After listening to problems other writers have complained
about, I recommend the next thing you do is to set a goal. Determine how many
pages you can write a day. If you’re writing a novella, count on about 40,000
words whereas for a novel, I’d give myself about 90,000 words. A page in a book
is about 350 words. Now project that out and set your target date. If you’re
like me you will find some days you may write six pages and on other days, you
may not want to write at all. On those days do other book related activities
like research; create a media platform such as your own web site, Twitter, Facebook,
Pinterest, etc.
I have seen too many new writers not set a target date for
completing their novel. Something will always compete with your writing time. That’s
okay. Priorities can change temporarily. Modify your target date. If you don’t
have a target, you won’t push yourself. Books don’t write themselves. In the
end, for each book you complete, the next book will get easier and easier to
write.
