Although the book …moreMy most recent book, Riding in Front, came to me in that strange state between dream and sleep, and it was on Veterans Day in 2014. Although the book is short, it took over a year to complete the final version. I did not intend to write another military thriller / adventure, it just happened, as many other authors have mentioned. I was thinking about how to honor those veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and my best way was through writing. From there, I visualized an "everyman" coming face to face with the sacrifice a soldier would experience, and I found a way to bring that "everyman" into the story. I can't say it was always fun to write, the first versions were nothing but depressing. As I developed the characters I found ways to lighten the burden of the story, and develop characters I enjoyed and would like to spend time with. Ultimately I truly like the characters in the story. I hope you will enjoy them too.(less)
