Ila Proud Team Justice Member asked David Edward:

Hi. I'm a US Navy Veteran from the 80s. Were you inspired to write by your career or as a way to deal with things you say as a Special Agent? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Ila in Portland, ME

David Edward Hi and thanks for the question! I had kind of ignored my memories from my service and was always focused on looking forward not backward. Then I got the idea to use some of my military experiences in a book series, and once I started writing and remembering all kinds of stuff came flooding back. It has proved therapeutic even though that was not why I started doing it.

I'm working on the next Dirk Lasher book now, Prayer Drum, which takes place largely in the Dorian Gap, and it is the most fun I have had yet remembering and spending time 'back in the good old days' :-)
