In Honor of Veterans Day - BROKEN-DOWN HEROES OF THE WESTERN NIGHT

 Hi everyone!

Veterans Day is a special day for me - as well as many others - and this year, I have the opportunity to celebrate it a little differently (yes, I know the day has passed, but it's never too late to blow up a balloon or... say... offer a FREE book...)! BROKEN-DOWN HEROES OF THE WESTERN NIGHT is based on my own experiences, but entirely fictional, and seems like an appropriate gift to mark this special day.



Hardcharging army lieutenant Bickham Deth's only desire is to lead soldiers in combat. In the bloody winter of 2006, he expects to finally earn his baptism by fire on the streets of Kabul or Baghdad.

Instead, he finds himself trapped in Oklahoma on funeral detail.

Deth is honored to pay tribute to the veterans of Vietnam and World War II, but his patience is pushed to the breaking point by incompetent morticians, squabbling family members, and a mishap with the color of his socks that threatens to derail his entire military career.

As the "needs of the army" turn a three-day task into a never-ending odyssey, Deth finds solace from his grim work in the gallows humor of his partner, Sergeant Bela Packs. In his fifteen years of service Packs has seen it all, and his war stories are a welcome distraction from the painful task of burying the dead.

As the honors team weaves its way through the American heartland, seeing both the sublime and ugly sides of small town life, Packs unravels the spellbinding tale of the worst Soldier who ever lived...



If you would like a copy, it's currently available on Kindle for FREE (until the end of the month), and this is where you can find it:


I hope you enjoy the book - salutations!
