I have decided to re-run the book before I put up the sequel, which used to be the second half of the original manuscript of Dark Resurrection, otherwise known as "The Jesus Chronicles: The Truth About Easter". The manuscript ran to nearly 900 pages when I finished it. 

I quickly learned that novels are not supposed to read like short stories, and that I had created an unreadable Frankenstein, as I was informed by one early reader. 

I split the book and edited the hell out of it before making agent queries and submissions for nearly five years, which turned out to be a waste of my time. Since some folks here like my idiotic screeds, I figure I'll put it up here. Dekota Rain had asked for the sequel to be put up a good while back, so I am finally making good on my promise.

If you are interested, please look for chapter one of Dark Resurrection tomorrow, and the rest will follow over a few weeks. The sequel is somewhat rough; I did not have any time to do further editing after the edit I did around fifteen years ago.

The theme song to the 1970 movie MASH is called "Suicide is Painless." It isn't, in ways I will try to explain. First of all, let's look at the act itself. Many suicide attempts are horribly botched. I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere
