Anticipating a great Halloween, a young man is confronted with more evil than he’d ever imagined.
Young JR was looking forward to his long awaited Halloween date with the girl of his dreams. All he had to do was cut a few lawns to make a buck or two, and then take his younger siblings trick-or-treating. After that, he was free to enjoy his date with Destiny, and join his friends at a legendary Halloween party. What could go wrong?
The thrills start early that Halloween day, when JR decides to get an application for a job and a burrito at the same time. The workers at the fast food restaurant had different plans, however, and leave JR reeling, and wondering what happened. As he makes his way through the day, he is met with a host of obstacles and evil beings trying to eliminate him and his family. The implausible, chilling antics last throughout Halloween day and into the night. How will JR respond? Can he save himself? Can he save his family? And what about Destiny, can he salvage his date? Read Destiny’s Lot: A Halloween Love Story and find out.
Excerpt
The closer they got to the door, the weirder things became. I could see tiny heads peeking out from behind thick, dark-burgundy drapes, which covered both the garage, and front picture windows. They looked like the faces of young children, too many to count, but they all seemed somewhat deranged, slightly disfigured, and mostly evil. Each one seemed to be yelling, but no words could be heard. It was as if their muted voices were calling out for help; an escape from damnation of sorts.
I got an eerie feeling, telling me that something was very wrong. And for some reason, I was compelled to turn and glance at the odd man’s house across the street. “Oh my,” I slowly whispered, with a shrill in my voice and doom in my eyes. At the front door, behind the screen, I noticed the silhouette of the man, or whatever it was. And his aged hand was just outside the door, in almost the same position it was earlier. The porch light highlighted the decrepit hand that was now rolling its index finger, summoning me to join him. Spooked, I looked back at the kids making their way to the door of the disappearing family’s, authentic haunted house.
Suddenly, evil figures, big and small, started to surround them. And the children of the damned, like angry rats, swarmed from everywhere.

A Classic and Fresh Halloween Tale
From the mind who brought us THE SEERS: LOVE AND TERROR ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, about the unsuspecting family who is hit by lightning on their way to a family reunion and walk away with an unusual ability, THE TOWN BENEATH THE CHRISTMAS TREE, where the family's children are catapulted into danger in another dimension, and GOOD FRIDAY: DREAMS ANS NIGHTMARES, about a man caught in between two worlds, now comes DESTINY'S LOT: A HALLOWEEN LOVE STORY, just in time for Halloween. J.R. Wirth once again pulls us into a tale fraught with supernatural elements, but with a storyline everyone can identify with and understand in his typical "Outer Limits" style of writing that is classic and fresh at the same time. If you're in the mood for a Halloween story that will take you back to high school crushes and fear of the dark, this story is for you.
Destiny's Lot... Great title--great read
Long before we had devices that could connect us to others, or entertainment, life was much simpler. We had bestselling—original—horror books and films, such as: Halloween, Carrie, The Omen, and The Exorcist, and we actually had to read them, or go to a theater to see them. Well, “Destiny’s lot: A Halloween Love Story” is set within that time and makes its own mark as a qualified freaky, Halloween, love story that is well worth any penny you might invest to read it. Perhaps we’ll get to see it on a “screen” someday as well. This is, perhaps, the best piece of fiction yet from JR Wirth.
Hypnotic
Just as I knew it would be.... Hypnotic , addicting. Leaves you breathless wanting more. JR Wirth is a talented well written author, with this light hearted romance thriller. One moment it had me laughing and others with a chill down my spine . GREAT BOOK !!
Tasked by his Goddess to find, relocate, and then quicken, the last three Heart Tree gem-seeds, Vanx the bard, and his motley crew of adventurers, set out to do just that.
