Back in the mid to late eighties I was in the Army and made
a lot of friends and even more memories.
Through all of that I have stayed in touch with one friend from that
period of my life, T.J. Hooker. Not the
TV character played by William Shatner, but an old tanker Army buddy who shared
many of my adventures in the Army with me.
Until Saturday night and this Sunday morning the last time I
saw him was six years ago. That was way
too long. It amazed me at how time flies
when you’re not paying attention to it.
It was so good to see my old friend, even with such a small
visit it meant so much to me. The flood
of old memories it brought to the surface.
I know we both look much different and have changed a lot over the
years, but just like that phenomenon where you don’t feel any older inside, I
could still see my friend the way we used to be twenty-five years ago in my
memories. I still have the year book of
our basic and AIT with pictures of us covered in mud and climbing around on the
tanks stuck between the pages, on my book shelf.
All in all it was a trip down memory lane, and seeing all
the wonderful old aircraft from our nations fighting past it was nostalgic to
say the least for me. I was born on an
Air Force Base (Castle) that doesn’t exist any longer and have had a love
affair with airplanes since my first memories.
I realized something this weekend which is odd and I have
never been asked about during my many author interviews. Born and raised as an Air Force Brat, that joined
the Army when I came of age, how is that my first book is about the Navy and
warships? I don’t have an answer for
that either, except my stories are just about stuff that I would love to read
that haven’t been written yet. My First
book “Whisper” is exclusive right now on Amazon dot com for $3.99, but this upcoming
weekend, Memorial Day weekend it will be on sale for .99 cents! So if you’re looking for something new and
exciting, a Navy military adventure that deals with time travel and you haven’t
read it yet, make a note to get your copy this upcoming weekend.
Remember there is now bonus material at the end of the
book. The first Chapter of my second and
the first Chapter to the sequel of “Whisper”, which will be titled “Leviathan
Deterrent” and by released in just a month or so!
Oh, by the way my old Army buddy is one of the followers of
this Blog and has a blog of his own!!
T.J. Hooker, so check him out! He
is supposed to send a link to his blog and when he does I’ll share it on an upcoming
post.
May God Bless and thanks for dropping by and sharing.
