Due to Covid-19, neither my father, nor myself or any of my family can visit her. I do not know what her illness is at this point. She was just hooked up to the IV.

I will continue to work on my stories in progress and other ideas, but there is a chance that the stress could hinder some of my creativity.

Badly burned and otherwise injured, but rescued and healed by angels on the orders of Michael the Archangel, King of Heaven.

Seen as evidence for Michael's poor taste and judgment by Asmodeus.

Haley, Nikki- former Governor of South Carolina, Ambassador to the UN, and later Senator from South Carolina. Her Vice-Presidential aspirations were quashed by Lord Asmodeus, but he then helped make her Senator as part of his long-term plan. Presumably turned succubus at some later point.

Ghost, Holy- former deity and member of the Godhead or Holy Trinity, "inspired" Holy Bible (including with many lies), fled Heaven when Jehovah, Jesus, and Satan were killed in Satan's last attempt to seize power in Heaven. Later raised massive "inspired" (euphemism for possessed) army in China, especially drawn from unmarried men, took over China from the Chinese Communist Party in a bloodbath/purge that slaughtered millions. Ended any semblance of rule of law in China, abolished courts, executed lawyers and judges, imposed summary executions for any "immorality," especially the sexual kind. Staged nerve gas attacks in Manchuria to break separatist lines there, widely viewed as a threat by both Asmodeus and Michael.

Michael the Archangel- Archangel turned King of Heaven, took over when Jehovah and Jesus were slain and Holy Ghost fled; gradually reformed many of the rules and laws in Heaven. Inspired the creation of the short-lived Michaelist sect at the advice of Asmodeus, Created list of souls to be Raptured as part of a truce with Asmodeus, thus removing more than a billion souls from the planet, all of them to be turned angels. Abolished celibacy in Heaven, introduced marriage there, expelled Josh Duggar for incest in Heaven, along with Woody Allen, Soon-Yi, and Jana Marie Duggar. Engaged in frequent negotiations with Asmodeus, including soul swaps, particularly that of Lacey Chabert. At last report, still looking for wives (decided to allow polygamy after realizing that it's good to be King). Still holds intense hatred of incest after witnessing Lot with his daughters. Sometimes shows questionable taste or judgment in picks, as shown by Rapturing many war criminals and choosing Neera Tanden as one of his Witnesses.

Creation- a rather mysterious and unclear event somehow involved in evolution, but with clear tampering and manipulation of the evolutionary process by Jehovah, Jesus, Satan, and others. NOT how it is described in Genesis, at least not entirely.

Evolution- see Creation.

Adam- first Man involved in the Garden of Eden, but not first human ever. First married to Lilith, later took Eve as second wife, which worked out well enough until Lilith wanted more spontaneous and risky sex, while Eve got jealous and wanted Adam all to herself. Divorce from Lilith followed, along with her seduction and damnation by Satan. His "Fall" is still the subject of some dispute as to its nature. Later regretted divorcing Lilith. His lineage contributed to evolution, but was hardly the sole source of genetic material. Was primary, but not sole human ancestor of Jesus, the son of Jehovah.

Jehovah- deceased Supreme Being, senior member of the Godhead/Holy Trinity slain by Satan in a sort of quixotic, kamikaze-like attack. His death and that of Jesus left a vacuum in Heaven, but with the Holy Ghost fled, Michael the Archangel filled it instead. Often derided by Asmodeus for poor choices, such as lying to Man about Creation/Evolution and sending billions to be tormented in Hell.

Christ, Jesus- deceased son of Jehovah, second member of the Godhead/Holy Trinity, a distinct being from Jehovah despite the Nicene Creed assertions, physically manifested and incarnated upon Earth, was crucified and resurrected, circumstances of his birth unclear, but virgin birth unlikely, given its links to past pagan mystery cults. His Crucifixion wounds contained traces of sin, an Achilles Heel exploited later by Satan in his doomed quixotic last assault on Heaven.

Satan/Lucifer- aka The Devil, deceased former fallen angel turned demon after failed rebellion in Heaven against Jehovah, first King of Hell and Prince of Darkness. Darker and more malevolent than Asmodeus, though arguably no more than Jehovah or Jesus or Holy Ghost, he tormented souls unconditionally in Hell more for bitterness than to please Jehovah. Also accused people in Heaven in attempts at more souls. Waged last war in Heaven that failed in that he himself perished, but managed to take out Jehovah and Jesus Christ in the process. Exiled Asmodeus from Hell until just after his own death.

Rapture, The- event prophesied in the Bible, briefly canceled, but rescheduled later by Michael with intent to "gather all acceptable souls" into Heaven and rid Earth of their like. Michael was encouraged to take even more people by Asmodeus and to set up his own religion just prior to the Rapture in order to take more souls, as the ones chosen were likely troublemakers sure to oppose the Asmodean agenda of demonic supremacy and absolute promiscuity. It also reduced population pressures, making climate change easier to control.

Town Hall, Rapture- live CNN hosted event where two representatives of Heaven and Hell each worked to convince souls, including a live studio audience, to choose either Heaven or Hell and either get converted (baptized) into Michaelism or else turn demonic through sex with an incubus or succubus. Hosted by Van Jones and Elizabeth Vargas.

Jones, Van- CNN anchor, former radical activist, co-host of the Rapture Town Hall set in Georgia, which resulted in many souls, including himself, being baptized and Raptured.

Vargas, Elizabeth- former ABC anchor, host of religiously-themed TV documentary shows, co-host of the Rapture Town Hall with Van Jones. Turned succubus, helped turn many souls in Russia into devils and thus assisted the demonic conquest of Russia.

Celestial Territories of East Asia- territory ruled by the Holy Ghost and his minion, Wang Xi-Jian, and the Celestial Mandate regime. A devastated, impoverished country, once very prosperous under the former government, all of them now dead. Consists mostly of China proper at this point, little else in the way of territory, though Manchuria is now falling into its hands due to nerve gas attack at Harbin.

Celestial Mandate Regime- regime led by Supreme Leader Wang Xi-Jian officially, but in reality controlled by the Holy Ghost. Engaged in multiple acts of atrocities, brutality, summary executions, courts abolished, rule of law terminated, commerce and business confidence shaken by drastic policies that cripple investment of capital, among other things.

Xi-Jian, Wang- Chinese politician, former incel, Supreme Leader of the Celestial Territories and of the Celestial Mandate regime, inspired and possessed by the Holy Ghost.

New Celestial Army- insurgent military force in China, inspired, possessed, and controlled by the Holy Ghost, responsible for widespread atrocities such as summary executions, looting, rape, etc. Just used nerve gas attack to break separatist lines in Manchuria, triggering World War Three, aka the War of Armageddon.

Armageddon- The Final War of Human Civilization, aka World War Three, waged between the Hosts of Heaven and Hell on one side, led by Michael the Archangel and Lord Asmodeus respectively, and the New Celestial Army under the Holy Ghost and his puppet, Supreme Leader Wang Xi-Jian. Immediate catalyst is the nerve gas attack at Harbin, Manchuria by the New Celestial Army against the separatist forces there.

Bertello, Giuseppe- Cardinal and de facto ruler of Vatican City State, later turned incubus and deputy to Lord Asmodeus in his Empire.

Widow/Widower, Rapture- someone who was married to a Raptured person and left behind for any number of reasons. The marriage is considered dissolved in human law afterward, much as it would be after death or divorce, hence the terminology.

Demon, Destroyer- a demon without sexual function whose purpose is to slay the enemies of Lord Asmodeus. They are largely humans atoning for past crimes in order to become incubi or succubi later, such as Allison Mack, Keith Raniere, James Clapper, Jeffrey Epstein, etc. Exceptions to this include Azrael, Abaddon, and Kristin Kreuk.

Azrael- Chief Destroyer Demon, replacing Lord Abaddon. Organized many missions to destroy the enemies of Lord Asmodeus.

That's Book 2 of the "To Reign In Hell" series, for those of you not in the know. Now, I know that some folks like it, others don't, but bear in mind that this was a project that started out with a Halloween contest and a plot bunny jumping around in my head, and before I know it, I've created a whole universe where demons not only exist, they're good guys after all! Talk about "Sympathy For The Devil," as the Rolling Stones sang.

Anyway, time to move on to other projects. See ya soon with more work on stories that I definitely don't plan to abandon. If finishing this story proves anything, it's that I fully plan to complete all of my works in time. Thank you for your patience, feedback (even when I disagree with it), and reading of my work. This is my passion, after all.

I hope that everyone has had a great holiday season, whatever your holidays. As a pagan, I celebrate Yule and Solstice.

Also, for those wondering, I haven't forgotten my other stories. I've just chosen to buckle down and focus on my Hollywood Be Damned serial for the moment. I fully intend to continue and finish my other stories. I just wish to push through to completion some time before New Year's Day or shortly afterward if necessary.

There is a Book 3 in my mind already, but that can wait for a bit, as I take on making progress in my other work. Book 3 is about the final conflict, thus it will be fittingly called To Reign In Hell, Book 3: Armageddon. It's a lot gorier and more brutal, but still with plenty of hot, steamy sex as well. I've even thought of spin-offs, but time will tell. As you might have guessed, the Holy Ghost is the bad guy, the villain in this story, not Michael or Asmodeus, as one might have thought.

Happy New Year, by the way, if I don't catch you before then.
