This is a tale of importance for me. Written back in 2009, it gets a once over in October 2022. Back in 2009, I was still writing short stories exclusively though they had been getting longer since the year before. I had yet to write a novel length story and this is where the importance of this tale here first begins to rise.

This story strayed a little from where I though it might go and that is perfectly fine, I'm a pantzer, not a plotter, so I go wherever the story takes me. This being said, the original thoughts I had for this went into another tale which would be heavily inspired by this one.

The said inspired story would be written in 2011 and would be my first novel length tale. That Novel length tale is called THE PATHFINDER MISSION and is currently here in full on Wattpad. Now, THE PATHFINDER MISSION is not a continuation or expansion of this story though indeed is heavily influenced by it. Either and both tales can be read individually though it might be of benefit to read this one first if you are so inclined to do so.

In addition, THE SEVENTH PROTECTOR and THE PATHFINDER MISSION are not the only related tales, in fact, there are two more in this series if it can be called a series. The third story is a spin off from THE PATHFINDER MISSION, and if you do read THE SEVENTH PROTECTOR, you will hopefully see the connection with the novella length story DAN THE ALIEN.

The fourth loosely connected tale to the three already mentioned is actually a collection or a series of lengthy short stories making up one longer tale. This series follow THE ADVENTURES OF HERMAN AND LONNIE, one of the more enjoyable projects I've taken on. As I write this, I still have to go through both DAN THE ALIEN and THE ADVENTURES OF HERMAN AND LONNIE before I re-post them to Wattpad. Hopefully, this will be done by such time you may read this.

So, if you check out anything I write ... I thank you and I hope you enjoy ...
