My friend, you sure do know how to wind up a book.
Congratulations for being selected for the Book of
the Month contest. That, in itself, is an honor.
Do you know who won?
Hope you are well.
thanks for sharing

Aha, this has to be one of my fave 'last' chapters. I never got to use the sheriff the way I wanted. He was prominent in my mind but never got much paper time.
Thanks for the great rating. So glad you liked it!
This chapter got second and Avril's got first. Usually I lose to Margaret, but Avril's on fire. Never a problem being second to her!
Hugs,
Gayle
Comment from Scornwell
A well written and enjoyable piece. Though I don't know where the werewolf comes into the story, I assume that is because I only read this chapter. The characters are well defined and the dialog sounds realistic and seems appropriate for the characters. Good luck in the contest.

Hi Scornwell, thank you so much. This is the last chapter of the book, so there's no doubt you're a bit confused.
Thank you so much for the fine wishes and review,
Gayle

Nice chapter. Sounds as if this book has a lot of drama. I found it to be interesting and clearly written with a smooth flow. Easy to read and understand. Good luck with the contest and thank you for sharing.

Tight writing, clean prose with just enouhg inofrmation to feel the urency and keep the pace as they check the ones going to the hospital. Solid epilogue too. Silver bullet for you as you strike passion in the heart of the reader. Good luck in contest. Stan

Pretty cool that you got the last chapter nominated. I had that happen that way twice. I think it confirms that you got the it factor going. So are you in your own publishing enterprise. Are you selling kindle, printed, tell me more about your world. We competed on book of the month club and you won and beat me out by a few votes. You know what they say, can't beat em join em'

Hi Forest,
Well, OP does all the eBook versions, paperback and hard copy and we really pride ourselves on our work, especially when it involves a fellow Fanstorian. Check out omegapublications.net and see what we do.
And which contest was that? Always like to see how the competition is doing!
I'd like to get to know you, so don't be a stranger. If you have any publishing questions, give me a holler!

Thanks. I will check it out. I wrote down the web address.
Way back more than a year ago. I had my story Miracle on Snowbird Lake, and my chapter went against yours and we fought for first place, but you prevailed. Tough going against Avril. In fact, I got second place to her more than once on book chapter of the month, and once I was leading her into the last day, and then she won by one vote.

Loved this chapter Gayle.
Your dialogue is spot on and masterfully done. Fantastic way to end this on Halloween. This looks like quite a story. Be very blessed

Ah, sweet Jenny, I'm so glad you liked this one. Actually, I like yours better. I just snuck out of the cave and look what I found. Good for me! And thank you, my dear friend. What a pretty bouquet, and I know you arranged it all yourself. Have a sniff!
Hugs,
Gayle

Wonderful writing. First time I've read your stories, so I had to figure it out a bit, but it moved along so well I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great Creativity. I liked the name and the way you chose to express it in the writing of this fine piece of work. However I found many spelling issue's. It is one thing to create a word and tell our own word processors to add it to our dictionary's like for instance, "Bedbugin" Most know that this isn't a word, that it is the author's choosing that sets them apart from their peers. But to take a word like 'something' and misspell it 'somthin' because that is the way we talk, isn't a good thing in putting a good piece together when it comes to writing. Though we may not like to follow the rules when it comes to talking a truly good writer knows that one must keep the rules when it comes to great writing. I didn't allow myself to get too pulled into this piece of work, though from what I did read, I saw that it was good, and very creative. For me personally I don't read scary stuff, it goes against my values and personal boundaries I've set for myself. Other than that, stay in there and keep up the good work

Guess who, Gayle? Yup, I am back among the online living. Since when did you write horror? Loved this chapter and I definitely want to read the chapters which came before it. Is there any genre you cannot write? Great work!

Oh my, a sixer. Gosh, it's just terrific to see you again, Rob. And I love that you've gone back to your original moniker! I changed a bit - Showboat. Long story. So where've you been, my friend? It's been years, at least three. You were working on that reality TV show, can't remember the title. Is it finished?
Well, I've been busy, lots of changes since we last spoke. PM to follow.
Thanks so much for the wonderful sixer and I'm glad you liked this one. I'm editing it now and hope to have it out for Christmas. Would you like one?
Hugs and a big welcome back!
Gayle

We are so pleased the doggies pulled through for all our sakes. We enjoyed the twist at the end with the howling in the night and the silver bullet.
Love and hugs

Had to save the doggies, girls! What would we do without them?
So glad you enjoyed this one, now I'm back in the editing cave!
