      Dedication

      With this being Halloween, I decided to try and write a horror story. However, it became more of a psychological story than anything else in which I threw various elements in. The story is partially based on the conflicts of having noise anxiety - or fear caused by uncontrollable noises. While the themes are heightened, I do think there's value in addressing the matter (though don't consider this an appropriate text for research). This story is dedicate to those looking to celebrate Halloween however they want. Go have fun, why don't you?

      BUT DAD NEVER LISTENED TO DANNY BROWN

      What a fantastic creation this book is. A young man who is starting to realize that his earlier years that were spent as a some times troubled some times care youth are over. It is time to make more mature decisions. A great example of today's social urban life styles. I did not want this short story to end. I wanted it to continue to explore this youth's new realizations and life in his new future.

      4/5 stars - rucrazy

      A very interesting read, well written. It sounds like a teaser for a novel; I would have liked it to continue through life...he gets a job, marries, lives his life, etc. Maybe there is more to come?

      4/5 stars - Sue Gross

      A PLAGIARIZED CHRISTMAS

      Very interested with the beginning of a fresh new story & character. Somehow the author seems to have a dark & troubled side to his work.. I will continue to follow his publications to see if he can pull himself out of a funk..Overall it takes awhile to get into his stories but I do enjoy what I have read so far. - PART ONE

      3/5 stars - rucrazy

      I thought I was in a different story until Max brought the story together by ragging on his sister. I feel it would have been better published all at once, I read the last chapter of #1 to bring it together for me. Overall I enjoyed the outcome of this story. Someone should tell Max to love himself, then it will be fair to say good job. - PART TWO

      4/5 stars - rucrazy

      A MEETING IN THE BUSHES

      Another fast & interesting read from this young author. His outlook on some of subjects that are in our social network today make for very interesting reads. Mr. Willett does make thoughts & ideas come to life in all his books (short stories). I look forward to seeing a new story or perhaps a novel to be released.*

      FRACTURED MIND

      In just a few pages, Fractured Mind reminds us that out of brief and unlikely encounters we can have experiences that impact our lives. Even at our worst we all have a story to share. Thomas Willett inspires us to have a listening ear, and share some gummy bears.
