I spent twenty years in the US Army. I served overseas several times including
three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Through it all I never stopped
writing. Long nights in Korea and under mortar attacks by the Taliban my pen
continued to churn out word after word. I actually got a medal for the student
of the month award for writing a very poorly done (and a knock off of another
book) novel in 11th grade. I'm not a dreamer, more methodical in my approach to
the future. I know what I want and, though I may not always know how to get
there, always continue the assault. You see, there can be no substitute for
victory. I think Americans have forgotten this. We give up too easily. Turn our
backs on what we once thought was important. How did this happen? Has our
culture been so watered down over the last 30 years that I need to move to a
tropical island? (Not that that's a bad idea mind you) All I know is that my
years of work have left me here. I had two novels professionally published last
month and now have one in the Barnes and Noble catalog. Not the Nook- where any
old body can post stuff, but on their bonafide bookshelves. Have I won? Is the
war over? You tell me.
