"Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart;
confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write."
~~Rainer Maria Rilke
Hi all,

So...  In a surprising turn of events, three things happened:

1.  I actually wrote two parts of my current trifecta of stories.
2.  Part two... which was supposed to be the "intermission"... ended up longer than part one.
3.  I then realized that, together, parts one and two are already longer than Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. 

Thus, I feel like a break is in order for this newsletter.  But first... time to plug the stories:

Part One:
"The Shepherd"- For the first time since COVID started, St. Genesius' Community Theatre is producing Jesus Christ Superstar again.  Joshua returns as himself but assorted life events prompt the Friends to make some casting changes.  Meanwhile, Andrew and JenniAnn continue to deal with the fall-out of their demonic attack... something that also haunts Marty.  Crowley takes a role in JCS but it may be more than he can handle.  Two Friends struggle to cope with disappointment.  Romance may or may not be brewing between two others.  And two mysterious figures travel almost a thousand miles to attend opening night.

Part Two:
"The Lost Sheep"- It's 2019... the year before "the plague"... and the demon Edgar is sent to possess Stephen Thomas, head of a sober living house.  Things do not go as planned...  Or do they?

Part Three aka "The Advocate" will be forthcoming but probably not until October at the very earliest, more likely November.  It'll pick up where "The Shepherd" leaves off, incorporating what happens in "The Lost Sheep."  I actually had bits of Parts 1 and 2 pre-written which is why they came together fairly quickly.  However, I have much less pre-written for "The Advocate."  Thematically, it's also the heaviest of the three stories.  So I will definitely be taking my time with it. 

Anyway...  Please enjoy the newsletter... the little of it there is!

God bless,
Jenni
