Book 2 Questions, Answers, and Secret Sorcerer
Hello and happy holidays! It’s G.N. Jones back again with another article. If you happened to check out Secret File 2 earlier this month then you know that the second book in The Dark Rituals Saga is finished and is being edited and prepared as we speak. I’ve gotten a few questions regarding the details of the second book. Luckily for you, I have the answers to those questions and more.
Book #2 is a direct sequel that takes place four months after the end of Hecatomb of the Vampire.
The book is a little longer than the first one, clocking in at just over 100K words.
It took about a year to write, but to be fair the skeleton of the trilogy had been mapped out for a while now.
Ben is still doing the art and cover! I’m really happy with our creative team, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Your favorite character will be put through the ringer!
I have started writing the 3rd one, which will conclude this particular saga, but my focus is on editing and preparing everything for the second novel and promoting the first. So please, I need you 🫵🏾 to do the three Rs: Read, Review, Recommend! Check out Hecatomb of the Vampire; that way you’re ready for the next chapter of the story! I appreciate you all!
And now our favorite group of weirdo characters will receive their Christmas gifts!
🎄
G: I’m delighted to be here in BRAHMASTRA HQ’s lounge today. It’s toasty in here, there’s a fire going, and we have some nice chocolate chip cookies and milk to snack on. I’m joined by Jahari, Moriko, and Enzo.
Jahari: Wassup.
Mori: Hiii! Please, you can call me Mori.
(Enzo nods.)
G: I want to thank all three of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to be here.
Jahari: It’s all good. Only two of us have jobs so as a whole we aren’t that busy.
Mori: I think I’m basically an intern. Enzo is definitely unemployed though.
Enzo: Well that’s just not fair. I’ve been undead for decades! I’m trying to catch up on the last 80 years of history. How could I have a job?!
Mori: I always forget that you’re from the 40s. You’re older than color TV. Older than Godzilla!
Jahari: Everyone in the 40s talked like, “Nyehh see.” (pantomimes shooting a Tommy Gun.)
Enzo: No they didn’t! The Italians didn’t! Madonna, that was an American thing.
G: Here Jahari, open your present and tell our readers what it is.
Jahari: We have, oh damn this is cool. It’s a book of paranormal relics and archeological sites.
G: I know you used to be interested in archaeology so I thought you might like this.
Jahari: Good looks, I appreciate it a lot. I still like archaeology actually. How did you know that though?
G: It’s my job to know.
Jahari: That doesn’t explain anything…Yo Enzo peep, this mask from Mexico is supposed to turn people into vampires.
Enzo: Impossibile.
G: Mori here’s your gift.
Mori: It’s rolled up, like a map or something. Ooh its a poster! It says “Hail Santa,” it’s a Gorillaz poster.
G: You can’t find these anymore, this is from 2001.
Mori: Thank you so much, I moved here recently so I finally have something I can put on my wall. My favorite band too, you did your homework! This is exciting.
Jahari: And are you a BA agent or something? How does this work?
G: Well that concludes our gift giving for this. See you all in 2024!
Enzo: I didn’t get a gift!
G: My mistake, I’m terribly sorry. Here.
Enzo: Wood polish?
G: For your coffin.
Enzo: Mori got a limited edition present and I got regular wood polish!
Jahari: So you’re just ignoring everyone’s questions huh?
Mori: Doo doo doo doo doo dooo feels good.
G: See you in the new year!!!!!
Jahari: (sucks teeth) I’m not even being funny who is he?
