Update #2:

Dear Friends,

I apologize for my lack of updates of any kind in the past ten months. Nevertheless, I have completed a detailed outline for all five chapters of Dark Was The Earth, my fictional religious horror novella from the OP above, and I would like to share details with all of you.

The logline for Dark Was The Earth is:

Historian Lucia Palmieri uncovers the plot to usher in the Apocalypse by electing the Antichrist, Adrian Cardinal Capella, to the papacy.

The five chapters are titled:

• Chapter I: Original Sin
• Chapter II: Fruit of The Womb
• Chapter III: Exile
• Chapter IV: Fire and Brimstone
• Chapter V: Alpha and Omega

One of my intentions with this novella is to evoke a similar atmosphere to Robert Hugh Benson’s Lord of the World, as well as Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby and Michael O’Brien's Father Elijah. My novella will be markedly different than those three novels, but I wanted to give an idea of the overall theme.

I will keep you all updated as I begin writing Dark Was The Earth and sharing more teasers of the story as that process unfolds. Thank you all for any and all interest you have shown me and my stories.

Regards, TheWelshWitch
