It-666’s story can not be told in one sentence not even in one book. It has a fateful spin to it which will last for as long as it is meant to last. It is determined. 

Let me confess, it feels strange to even speak about It or mention her. ‘It’ came knocking on my imagination’s door via nightmares that would not go away, that would get repeatedly spookier by the night, so much so that I would sit and stare at the four walls of my own bedroom with all lights on, too afraid to just sleep. Thank god, I did not have a partner at that time. He would have thought I went bonkers. I thought I did go so myself until I started writing what I saw in those nightmares. 

It made me stop the flow of ‘Clementine Boatswain’s adventures in the After world’, her blog, and her five books out of eleven in full swing (that work is unpublished but on the map of future publication). Just like that, one summer, many sleepless nights, I had the urge to write It-666 out of my body/soul/spirit/psyche. With saddle bags under my eyes, I wrote about ‘It’. ‘Clementine’ is still at a stand still to this day but I intend to return to her, at some point, finish her adventures, eleven books, with a prequel which just had to be and two sequels which are happy endings.

As I lay ‘It-666’ down on paper, my nightmares about her decreased. I am still disturbed to described them fully. It was as if I was in a Being which could not speak properly, which would not defend itself but had the might to do so and was put to slaughter. I started writing about ‘It-666’ after one distressingly bad dream, where I was crucified upside down in my own bedroom. It felt so real that I was confused in the morning. Morning, still in bed, no holes in any parts of my body, just a bloody dream, AGAIN. I did check myself throughout but also that I was not surrounded by walls bleeding tears of blood.

The character of It was awake in my creative mind, alive, stuck in a cage somewhere and had to be rescued. Her story flowed from me to the point where the sleepless nights were not due to nightmares anymore but just writing It/it. I am a bit of a workaholic when it comes to creative writing. It is hard for me to stop. I have penned four books of the It-666 saga with a fifth on the map. All are at different stages of publication. The first one and the second are published, the third and fourth are ready for publication. 

The saga starts with ‘Finding It-666: the Beast.’ During the Fall of 2012, Private Investigator, Walter Workmaster stumbled across a tortured teenager kept in a cage under a pentagram in a bunker. Saving ‘It’ turns the atheist world of Workmaster upside down…

Finding It-666: The Beast.  Second Edition.

The story remains the same. The characters are inspired by real persons in my life or that I did encounter while some are just purely fictional. Revelation for revalation, Walter Workmaster is partly but not totally sketched upon my father who passed away in 2013. Archangel Gabriel has traits of my mother and Azryiel has some of my brother.

However the main changes to the second edition is the new cover thanks to the talent of Andy Andreou. The original cover was based on my idea/ sketch but with the artistic hand of Andy it took the main cover to another level. But also it brought the first book of the It-666 saga to the design of the other novels.

Last but not least, I am unwell and although I never stopped writting, I have six novels ready to be published, I had to be in and out of hospital. It forced me to take big long rests and I did stop my publishing work for a while. I had to deal with the loss of my mobility. It is partial, I am not coordinated as per say. I fall very often and I walk with a walking stick on good days, a zimmer frame on bad days. On excellent days, I walk with stiff legs, hanging on every furniture around. Anyhow, an important part of the second edition is a dedication to Watford General Hospital. It is close to my heart because they help so many for so little rewards that it is heartbreaking to witness. The Medical crew there, the paramedics deserve a bow and a thank you for all the help they give to so many. Therefore the most important change in this second edition of Finding It-666: The Beast is that newly added dedication to a hospital and its staff who are fighting through a pandemic with courage and helping so many, most of the time without proper recognition.
