"You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we’re doing it." - Neil Gaiman

Halloween. A season of costumes, candy, and community, when even monsters want friendship. As Sammy the Skeleton's Halloween Surprise reveals, sometimes the scariest-looking creatures have the biggest hearts.

Fashioning a costume and mask, Sammy hides who he is and attends the party, but what will happen if the other guests discover the truth? Will they be afraid?

Once upon a time, humans braved the vast emptiness of space, set up experiments on the moon, and spun tires in the lunar dust. As the years and missions to other planets flew by, Hadley the Lunar Rover and her friends sat waiting, wondering about just one thing . . .

While she misses the humans who brought her to this place, she has high hopes that she will meet new people in the future as women and men continue seeking more knowledge about our galaxy.

What started out as an epilogue turned into a book of its own. The 13 stories you will read are compelling. They should be. Told by actual combat veterans of the Vietnam conflict, they reflect on so many battles that were fought; battles that were of the "kill, or be killed" type. The stories are, at times, raw. Other times they are humorous. Some end well, some do not.

I learned that these men still carry many burdens that started when they got to Vietnam. I found that the end of their time in service never really ended. Many still suffer. Agent Orange was a culprit. P.T.S.D. was another. None were unscathed.

I was able to interview two family members of a pilot who lost his life in Vietnam. From this, I learned of the long-lasting effects on family. Each I interviewed a POW from that conflict. I still find it hard to believe that this man came back alive. He's still alive and using his story for good.

One thing for sure is that every one of these fine gentlemen are heroes of the highest order. I found them humble and unassuming about taking on this role. I hope this book will elevate them to their proper place, along with their countless comrades in arms.
