DEAR CHRONICLES READERS:
We’ve literally been inundated with e-mails over Christmas - unfortunately we cant post them all – but keep them coming - here are just a few! - W.A.

I LOVED Messiah and now can’t wait for Book Three - Son of Perdition – Will we readers of Chronicles have a long wait?
Hi Linda, I had already written the basic outline of Nick De Vere’s’ earth story’ in 2021 in a TV format, so am at the moment transcribing it into a novel format and editing and pasting. As I don’t write fulltime, I take whatever opportunity I can – weekends, evenings, holidays - workloads permitting, but we’re absolutely aiming to have it in shops for next Christmas – 2008 – we’ll keep you updated on this site!
Michael writes:
Is there any possibility of a preview of Son of Perdition?
Hoping to get it to you soon, Michael! SOP opens on the 10th September 2001, with Lucifer and the Grand Masters of the lluminati on the 107th floor of the World Trade Centre in New York – I’m going to post a sneak preview in the weeks ahead on the home page..though no doubt it will change in all the drafts ahead!

Did King Aretas and his daughter Jotepa actually exist?
King Aretas the fourth of Petra was a historical King who was regent of Petra and the Nabaetans. He had a daughter called ‘Phaesalis’. (I changed her name to Jotapa for the book, as I felt that Phaesalis wasn’t a brilliant name for the heroine in Messiah! Artistic licence!) See the Chronicles Facts page to read more.
Daphne writes:
I have just started to read your book The Messiah and I am somewhat confused with the dates you have given. You have the Antichrist rising in 2021 and the Great Tribulation (presumably this period is half way through The Tribulation of 7 years) and yet in The Fall of Lucifer, Armageddon is given as occurring in 2018. The Antichrist does not come after Armageddon but before it. Are theses dates fictional? I know you are a very busy person but could you please get your secretary to give me an answer to my questions above. It is very important that I know.
Really glad you mentioned this, Daphne – as other readers may also have this query. There was a typo (typesetting error) in the first chapter of Fall of Lucifer in the British edition - The date of the AFTERMATH in Fall of Lucifer should read 2028 not 2018 – a 2 instead of a 1. So the Antichrist – one of the De Vere brothers, rises in 2021 – and Armageddon occurs seven years later.
The dates are completely fictional. Never too busy!
More Q & A coming soon!
