Just added! I proudly served our country for twenty years in the US Air Force, so Veteran’s Day has special significance for me. This year it’s a day to stop and remember the many lives lost or forever changed by the horrible violence of the First World War. November 11th marks the 100th anniversary of The Armistice, when, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, the guns finally fell silent. The events of the First World War have fascinated me for years. The challenges WWI veterans faced are very similar to what today’s veterans face. I very much wanted to give voice to those challenges and hope I have represented well those struggles, the details of the war and its aftermath in my novels, None of Us the Same and Truly Are the Free, which I will be signing this Veteran’s Day. Please come talk to me about my military service, about the First World War and about how veterans deserve our respect and support. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
