She had a really strong reaction to Franny. Interesting that seeing something unexpected or unimagined works the same for anyone even a demon. Things she's never thought of in her life are now occurring to her. How traumatic. mikey

Blaze is pregnant. I realize she is in a host body. , but she allowed to have a child? Maybe , Luke will use it for his purposes. Your are sneaky , spacing out the clues, repeatedly mentioning Tara's baby. The baby is why Franny is showing up. Another surprise knock out !

Thanks for reading. You guessed right. You are just tooooo smart! LOL! Four others also guessed, including two men. It will be announced soon. And yes, Franny knew, and that's why she came. Blaze's host body is a normal human, so it can have a baby. Luke would toss Blaze in the pit if he found out, for relations with humans are strictly forbidden. He would not care about the child. He says kids are off limits, because they are too young to make choices on their own so cannot sin so cannot be recruited as slaves.

Interesting how Blaze reacts to Franny by vomiting.
Could it be she is pregnant?
I must say, Phyllis, that your chapters really move
right along and are excellent at keeping one's interest.
I also like that they aren't really long, which is nice for
someone like me who reviews mostly poetry. You and
Bev are about the only two whose novels I read. :>)

Thanks, Connie. Looks like you, too, have guessed that she's pregnant. So far six readers have. I'm surprised so many guessed, even some men. Maybe because I added those weeks that passed, necessary for morning sickness to be occurring.

I'm honored that you read my novels. I didn't realize you didn't read very many. You and I are opposites. I prefer reading/reviewing stories and find poetry difficult to review. :)

I enjoy your updates. The same thing has happened to me when I go back over a manuscript and realize a transition in needed. I love the idea of Franny back in the story if only to get Tara to realize she needs to help Blaze. On to the next chapter. :-)

A new player to think about. She certainly generated a strong reaction to her brief visit. I presume this isn't the last we've seen of her.

I have to concentrate on the different names and make sure I'm on the right track.

Interesting chapter.

Thanks for reading. I don't know if you followed the previous two books or not, but just in case, here is something that will help:


All you need to know about who's who and what's what is in Chapter One of this book, even a glossary. But I will tell you who this woman is. Her name is Franny. She died in the final chapter of the first book, SNAPSHOTS, and went to Heaven. In DEMON, she visited Ginger from time to time, and no one else ever saw her... Just Ginger (now Tara). Franny was a good friend of Father Murphy and worked in the Church, cooking his meals, etc. She knew that Luke had assigned Ginger to kill him, so she kept showing up to prevent it, which made Ginger furious. Eventually, she helped Ginger to see that she was redeemable, even took her to Heaven in a dream, so that she could recall her past life as an angel there.

That, combined with Gary's love, turned Ginger around and she left Hell for good. Luke chased her everywhere, but she kept ahead of him. Once he even tried to sneak into Heaven, thinking she might be an angel again. That was pretty funny. Anyway, Ginger was forgiven since she had never rebelled and never stopped loving GOd. Luke had tricked her into following him to Hell. But she had forgotten after all the millennia of brainwashing.

God let her have a new body (Tara was about to die anyway, but not of illness) so she could live out a human life and perhaps earn her wings again.

No, I didn't read the first two books, and I thank you for updating me in such detail.

I really appreciate it.

Now you are bringing in the big guns, so to speak, by having Frannie visit Blaze. I think I know where everything is headed, but I'm not sure how in the heck it might work work out. Thanks for another great chapter. :-)

Thanks, Ric. I wonder if you really do know where it's going. There may have to be a 4th book at the rate I'll going with Blaze. LOL!

reply by Ric Myworld on 15-Feb-2015

With you at the reins there is no way that anyone can be sure of anything. LOL.

Lots of stuff for Blaze to take in and it has made her sick, literally. At least she has Tara to help explain things. Not sure if Blaze meant to call her Ginger or if that was a slip-up. 8-)

Thank you for reading. Yes, Blaze meant to call her Ginger, for that's how she thinks of her and when upset, forgets to use her new name, Tara.

I enjoy all your chapters of this book,

I still have them.

I've a suspicion that Blaze is pregnant - could happen!!

and you weren't even guilty.(")

Thanks a million for the six, Margaret. I'll fix that quote and congratulate you on correctly analyzing her symptoms. :)

Hmm ,is Blaze redeemable? I think she still has a ways to go in that arena - must give up the revenge game then - and grow empathy for others

Thanks for reading. Certainly cant be forgiven as she is now. She doesn't even know what love is...all angels did, but the fallen ones had millennia to forget. But the issue of redeemability has to do not with her behavior now, but with what she did in Heaven by choosing Lucifer over God. That's unforgivable, if she really did it. We know that Ginger was tricked by Luke into "taking a look" at Hell just out of curiosity. But the others were thrown out for good, with no hope of redemption. Remorse doesn't count, since everyone who ends up in prison, for example, probably regrets what they did because of the punishment, not because they didn't have the intent.

I see a lot of good in Blaze. I don't think Fanny made a mistake. I am pretty sure Blaze isn't ready to see her goodness, yet. You are doing a great job.

Thank you very much, Barbara. Blaze isn't nearly so bad as Ginger used to be. She's accepted her fate, but she doesn't have to like it. Ginger seemed to like being a demon before she found love with Gary. Blaze is more even-tempered and rational than her friend ever was. Yet she is not redeemable, according to the rules. To a demon who understands justice and fairness, that must be hard to take.
