Halloween 2024
On a band trip to New Orleans he stopped into a hole-in-the-wall shop, where an old woman offered to sell him a little bottle of Love Potion #9. He was a high school student who had a crush on his geometry teacher and, just for fun, at the Halloween dance, he spiked her punch. Except instead of only two drops, as the old woman had instructed him, his nervousness caused him to dump half the bottle. It was the best Halloween night of his life, and October 31st was never the same again.

We've all had that feeling of danger. You wake up from a dead sleep with your heart pounding. But there's nothing there. Or was there? We are alone, ultimately, but there is someone out there. Watching.

This is not a new novel. It has been on SOL before. I pulled them all when I had a story published in Singapore of all places. Since I am self publishing in audio when I feel up to it, and since the follow up novel is one here, I felt I should put it back if the site operators don't mind. It completes the pair. This one sort of helps to explain the novel called Mystery Writer's final spring.
