A Fascinating Tale

Posted by Nightingale | 3:19 PM | , , , , , | 11 comments »

Night Before Doomsday is novella that was inspired by a quote from Genesis, "The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them."


So, I read the Book of Enoch to find out more about these angels who fell from grace for the love—or was it lust—of a woman. Below is a blurb.

Azazel was a leader of the Grigori, the angels sent to Earth to teach Mankind after the oust from Eden, how to survive in a less hospitable environment. Nine-tenths of the Grigori fell from Grace, but was it love or lust?

This novella presents the Grigori's tale in first person from Azazel's point of view--the temptations, his struggles and the final realization that Heaven doesn't speak to him anymore.

Excerpt is available.

Night Before Doomsday is on sale at Amazon for $.99—an inexpensive glance into a mystery.

My son, Simon, designed the cover!

    What a great title! And a very noticeable cover, too. Your son did a wonderful job. What does the symbol on the cover mean?

    Linda, I have your book and need to make time to read. So many books, so little time is embroidered on a little pillow on my sofa.

    Another special Linda story.

    Handsome angels to seduce. Hmmm!

    Knowing the story behind it helps make me want to read it again.

    Yes, does the symbol mean something??
    Loved the excerpt, you shoulda posted it here! Like Mona says, so many books, so little time. I love a good book and Linda your stories are great!

    Linda,
    Love your cover. Your son is very talented. And, love your excerpt. As always, you are amazing.

    I'm interested in finding out what the symbol on the cover means, also.

    I know and I'm not telling!

    Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. Mona, I understand perfectly about too many good books and too little time.

    The symbol is Azazel's sigil. Angels have sigils, seals and characters that are used in magic to summon them. In my stories, the sigil is a brand in the palm and is the angel's name spelled in Malachim (the language of heaven) script.

    I'll tell Simon that his cover is apprecitated by people qualified to judge! He'll be delighted.
