About this ebook
Best friends Barry, Gary, and Terry are off on a Halloween adventure. But what starts off as a normal trip to a haunted house ends up as anything but a usual occurrence. As the horror becomes all too real, love blossoms between two old friends. But will they survive the night for love to bloom.

Gerald was called to write at various times in his life. When he was young, the writing consisted of plays and short stories. Then he explored the fine arts and literature, earning a bachelor’s degree in the latter while minoring in art history. In his studies he was fascinated by and enjoyed analyzing characters, their personalities and motivations. To him it’s always been the characters who make a story special. Once again writing has taken hold of him. In the past it was just an amusement, but now—for Gerald—writing is a passion to live, eat, and breathe.

1Praise for the author
Blue Light By Night, a Layton Shayne Mystery
There is a lot of suspense and the reader will be doing some guessing. There is also eroticism here and I commend Gerald on how he managed to work the themes so that everything comes together. I could see that he spent time thinking this story out.
Amos Lassen Reviews
This is a thrilling, suspenseful mystery. His ability to spin a tale of mystery, comedy and romance is obviously a talent that I am really beginning to treasure. —fast becoming one of my favorites writers of mysteries and the paranormal.

Lust and Lights
BRIGHT LIGHTS SHONE from the windows of the LGBTQ center on campus. Gary thought he could make out some sexy shadows in the hallway—well hung ones. He turned to his two friends and pointed the shadows out to them as he spoke.
I know it’s been a while since I got some,
