“You’re happy and excited and terrified and sad and mad and glad and you have no idea all rolled into one giant ball of energy,” Steve supplied.

Jason nodded, “How did you know?”

“Dude I got married in June it’s not a feeling you forget any time soon,” Steve replied, he slugged Jason’s arm playfully, “I think you’re worse than I was.”

“You were puking your guts out in the bathroom of the rectory because you were so hung over from the night before,” Jason pointed out.

Steve laughed, “Don’t tell Nancy that.”

“You’re kidding right, you drunk called her at three am to say that you love her so you didn’t sleep with the stripper that your buddy hired.”

Boots on the Ground

June 22, 2011 by admin

It took me nine weeks to write “Sometimes It’s Fate” as soon as I finished I started writing the follow up, “Boots on the Ground” I’ve been writing this book for a year and a half and there is finally an end to the long tunnel. Why has it taken me so long to write?

Good question.

I think it had to do with a lot of things going on in my life. I lost all all important momentum that comes with writing. Just after I finished Sometimes I moved half way across the country, I started working instead of just going to school. I finished School, then I started studying for my big nurse Exam. By the time that was done I found a job and started working again. I didn’t have the time or the focus to really write.  I would open something write 10k and move on, or drop 1000 words here 2000 words there. etc.  I felt a bit defeated as well I wrote a book, a subbed and subbed and subbed and all I got was rejection notices.

Finally someone picked it up, but my focus was else where. A new book idea came along in January and I spent 8 weeks writing that and another 8 polishing and scrubbing. Now I’ve done a few subs I’ve put it on the shelf for now. I’m back to focusing on Boots. At the moment I have 48 700 words plus another 15k or so ready to drop in once I connect the scenes together. I finally feel like things are moving along. Just need to keep that momentum!

Here is the -working- blurb for “Boots on the Ground”

Ash Cooper knows him and, his Civilian Police partner, Jason McCarty need to do one thing- Stay Alive. An IED attack leaves both men stranded in the high desert of Afghanistan and running from insurgents. With damaged satellite phones and Ash being injured their only hope is to take refuge with a group of civilians until they can be rescued. But rescuers don’t come and as the days turn to weeks Ash and Jason think about home, the partners they left behind, and when all hope is lost they turn to each other in a struggle for survival.
