June was an exciting month! My family headed to The Bahamas for a month, and I intended to celebrate my geographic bachelorhood by cleaning out the garage and completing some projects that had grown rather stale on my to-do list.  Instead, on the day before they flew out, I was stricken with another attack of […]

I know I’ve said this before, but one of the neatest things about being a military author is the other authors I meet.  We aren’t competition, because readers who like the genre read more than one book! Today, I am interviewing Sheree “Tiger” Evans, the author of By the Grace of God, a Promise Kept.  […]

How’s that for a catchy title?  Wondering what the heck I’m talking about? I woke up yesterday with the intention of dedicating some time to writing.  I’m pretty excited about my current project, a six-part series about an Army medic from each of the living wars.  The hardest part was finding real veterans from each […]

I stumbled across this little gem while surfing the competition.  Of course, being an author isn’t about competition – it’s actually quite the opposite – since someone who reads books similar to mine is my target reader!  CONUS Battle Drills goes a step farther, in that the subject is very personal to me.  What do […]

Today’s veteran/author interview is with a fellow I met years ago in 2003, while we were serving together in Ft. Riley, Kansas.  We were captains then, he in charge of a training team and me running the operations shop of a logistics battalion that supported his efforts.  We learned a lot about doing more with […]

There was the faint hum of a pitch pipe, as an unassuming lady in a red sweater stood not so much in front of a group of about forty women, but with them.  She then launched into exaggerated arm movements, almost leaving the ground.  The circle of participants then produced a single bar of four […]

The world is full of stories about veterans.  The latest ones involve unemployment, lack of access to health care, and the inability of veterans to integrate back into society due to PTSD or Adjustment Disorder (The latter often mistaken for the former). So when I get a chance to share a good story, I will. […]

A number of years ago, a friend of mine invited me to volunteer for a presidential campaign on Election Day.  I had nothing better to do than spend time with my buddy, and how hard could it be?  I’d probably end up loading a bunch of boxes into a truck as the campaign packed up, […]

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Curtis Bennett.  He’s from Philly, although he lives in Florida now.  He’s a Desert Storm Veteran, college grad, columnist, writer, and national talk radio cohost.  I found him on Twitter, and something intrigued me about this man.  I reviewed his writing work, which is all over the map […]
