@GerianDaColl I didn't like the first book either. George Navarro, my assassin/priest was one of my favorite characters, and his death at the end really bothered me. I had to write something better, and I'm glad you think I accomplished my goal. Lord willing, I will never write another book like Welcome to the End. I want to keep my people alive and help them find a happily ever after ending. Thanks for the five thumbs up.
