My belly was twisted in knots, I wanted to throw up, and I didn’t
breathe. With the slightest flick of my finger, I hit the “Approve” button and the
final proof of MASADA’S MARINE was sent
off to receive its final changes before it is printed. Do all writers go through this anguish? I’m nervous, excited, and scared, and yet
hopeful. And, still, the waiting continues.
In 2011, I
experienced these overwhelming emotions for the first time, but was rescued by
this wise advice: Your book is like your
child. Trust you have done your best, and let it go, then get busy on the next
book.
So with ideas simmering on the back burner for another book
in the MASADA SERIES, I will be busy
with for the following book events.

PRESENTING MY LATEST
BOOK
MASADA'S MARINE, The Story of A Service Dog And Her Wounded Marine Warrior.
Masada
and her Marine were both born two decades and two thousand miles apart, and
both aspired to do be the best that they could be. But first, they had to meet.
Masada
began her journey in Illinois as a bumbling golden retriever puppy and emerged
twenty months later as a proud, confident American Service Dog, ready and able
to protect and preserve the life of Iraq veteran, Alex March, USMC.
Alex’s
journey began in California as an ambitious boy who only dreamed of protecting
and preserving life for the Corps, his country and his family. Twenty years
later, he emerged as one of “a few good men,” and served with honor, courage
and commitment …until he came home….
“An unseen attacker, camouflaged in the
crowd, cooled its heels like a terrorist. It waited to follow Alex and his
family home. How could he have known what lurked on the sidelines? Another war,
an invisible war, he knew nothing about and had not been trained to fight.”
Follow
Iraq veteran, Alex March, USMC and his American Service dog, Masada, who
rescues the wounded warrior, as they become the best they can be.
AT
A BOOK FAIR AND SIGNING
