I lost a massive piece today
I'd written over months. I've no clue how it happened and I've checked through all recently deleted files. It was about Jesus Christ and described his resurrection following the events that concluded the last book. The second book written about Lipton and Skree or Peter, the same character that I posted about but left out the ending. If there are any readers that followed the story Jesus had bumped into the two urban shamans at Bury Ditches hill fort. In fact he joined up with them at the second hill fort (these are real places in Shropshire) and went on with the two brothers of different mothers to the great party where all the main characters amassed. Following the party they teamed up with some Druids and witches and hot wired a yacht at Porlock Weir. Meanwhile the super rich were boarding a spaceship named Noah to leave behind the planet their Ilk had plundered. They were being followed by a psychotic maverick ex policeman and a young man under the influence of strange new psychoactive drugs. I haven't as yet finished that book and while I believe it is unique and interesting it requires some serious rewriting and tidying up. There are many loose ends that need to be brought together though I know roughly how it concludes.
Recently I began to write the follow up and as yet we only know that Lipton survived. He has been sectioned for some time but has been released. A dark and secretive division of MI5 has continued the Witchfynder general and his cohorts and we have briefly met him. Then I wrote the long opening to the latest resurrection of Jesus Christ . He's back on the traveller site, much like in the bible, hanging round with the types who have abandoned work, wives and families in favour of homelessness and street drinking attracted by the free wine and convincing patter that Christ is known for. The sole surviving Druid who, contrary to his pagan impulses, gathered together the limbs, torso and severed head and dumped them into an empty caravan that was unoccupied. Here Christ gradually resurrected though the sweet stench of putrefaction was repugnant to the traveller community though finally he was his old self and emerged from the trailer.
Anyway, I don't even know if anyone has read the two books that are somewhere in the middle, around 2015 ish. I'd like to complete and edit and rewrite the second book and perhaps even the first one but I'd like to complete the third too. It may be no bad thing I lost what I did as I'm sure I'll make a better fist of it second time around and I can remember the jist of it.
If anyone is out there reading it, and I think there are about a dozen who followed the story, please bear with me. It will be worth it.
