Book of the Month: TAKE ME HOME: Chapter 2
Chapter Two “There really needs to be a good reason my phone is ringing at four a.m. on a Tuesday.” Ben leaned his head into his palm and held the phone to his ear. He’d just fallen asleep a half hour before and right then, he felt like committing murder and mayhem. “I’m at the […]

And July’s Book of the Month is…
TAKE ME HOME: PROLOGUE & CHAPTER 1 Prologue Northern Baghdad FOB War Eagle “Is this hell? Because it feels like hell.” Second Lieutenant Ben Teague swiped his sleeve across his forehead and accomplished absolutely nothing. Sweat still dripped steadily down the back of his neck as he walked the perimeter of their tiny combat outpost […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 18
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Eighteen “I never really thought the Army would be this hard.” “No one ever thinks handing out flowers and candy to the local nationals is hard.” His voice rumbled through her body. She was leaning back against him now, her feet draped over the handlebars of the Harley. His chest […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 17
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Seventeen A quiet knock on Emily’s door interrupted her first five minutes of alone time that day. It wasn’t even lunch time and she’d been going full bore since she’d dragged her corpse into the office a couple of hours ago. Two days had gone by since the shooting. Two […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 16
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Sixteen Emily walked into her office exactly one hour and thirty-six minutes late for work. Which meant the official start of her duty day was going to kick off with an ass chewing by her boss. The secretary, Ms. Walters, looked down her nose at her as Emily walked by. […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 15
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Fifteen Emily was alive. At least, she thought she was. A series of explosions were cooking off inside her skull, in perfect rhythm with her heartbeat, and she was reasonably certain that there were a thousand ice picks stabbing her in her eyes. She’d joined the Army because she’d wanted […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 14
Authors Note: I skipped ahead a couple of chapters because Chapters 11-13 deal wih a soldiers suicide and the aftermath. While they are important parts of the story, they are something I felt should be read within the context of the entire book and not in a one off chapter. If you know someone who […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 10
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Ten Reza had headed back to the R&R Center to pick up Wisniak, only to find out the kid had left without being seen.

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 9
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Nine He’d been right when he’d told her she was going to be sore. Sore didn’t even begin to explain all the pain in places she hadn’t even known existed. Her hip ached every time she moved. Her shoulders felt like they were still carrying the heavy body armor, and […]

Book of the Month: A PLACE CALLED HOME: CHAPTER 8
A PLACE CALLED HOME Chapter Eight The ride back to the clinic was quiet. At least, as quiet as a ride in a tactical vehicle could be. Reza’s thoughts were filled with heady, slow images. Fantasies involving a prim and proper doc who’d frozen in the hallway today and gotten herself shot. She didn’t realize […]
