Halloween has never been a very big deal for me, because my mom wouldn't let me celebrate it when I was younger. She was a devoutly religious person and claimed that Halloween was a form of devil worship, so she never allowed me to do the same things as the other kids. She even sent the following note to my school when I was in Kindergarten.
"To the principal, teachers, and staff at Eastwood Elementary. Please be advised that I do not want you to include Christopher Cordes in Halloween
Christopher Cordes was never able to celebrate Halloween because his mom thought it was devil worship. She would tell her son the story about several boys who'd gone missing on Halloween when she was younger, so when Chris was older, he decided to find out if that story was true. He started his own investigation, but what did he find? Was the story true, or had she just made it all up. Chris was shocked by what he discovered.
My humblest apologies. I thought I had passed along my birthday wishes, but just realized either I forgot or somehow screwed up. I hope it was a great one!
Dave,
I'm sorry I'm so late in passing along my birthday wishes to you. It's nice to have someone else my age here on GA. I hope you had a great day, and that you have many, many more birthdays ahead.
Thanks, Butcher. I want to thank you for the positive responses and feedback along the way, and I'm glad you enjoyed this tale. I wasn't sure how many GA members would be interested in a sword and sorcery story, but it seems to have received a fairly good response, so I'm gratified. Thanks again for sticking with it until the end.
Thanks for the feedback, flesco, and I'm glad you've enjoyed this series. Like I told the others, I will consider another book in Next Generation, but I have to come up with a lot more ideas first. Any suggestions would be welcome, just post a topic in my Signature Author Forum and I promise to consider each of them. That goes for @Justleah , @Henry , @donaldbirwin , @tor200534 , @butchman , @Wesley8890 , @Stix , @Dewilmnative , and @Dahawk too.

I wonder how devastating this hurricane is going to be to Florida, seeing it has caused major damage in the Caribbean so far. I hope everyone stays safe, but this could be devastating to the Florida economy, like Harvey was to Texas. My best wishes go out to all of the GA members currently living in Florida.
Thanks, Dahawk, I'm glad you've enjoyed this story. I'm considering everyone's request, but like I said, I just have to come up with some more ideas. Thanks for your support and feedback.
Thanks, Jon. I appreciate your continued feedback and support, and I'm glad you enjoyed the fact that I switched from Josh's to Danny's point of view. I'm open to suggestions for continuing this series, because that's what I would need to go forward. Thanks again.
Stix, thanks for the high praise, and I'll think about writing more. I have to come up with a bunch of new ideas if I do that, though. Thanks for your support and feedback.
Thanks, Wesley. I'll be honest with you. I'm really surprised that so many have indicated that they want more. I wasn't even sure if anyone would read this book, but I'll consider it. Thanks for your support and feedback.
