A Day in the Life: a tribute to my men in uniform

OLD POSTS NEED LOVE TOO… HERE’S ONE FROM 5 YEARS AGO! ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED NOV. 9, 2013 “Today, on a military base (which I shall not name) located somewhere in the Helmand province of Afghanistan, this is happening… The weather was cooler today, ranging from a high in the upper 60s to a low in the 50s, but it was dry. It will get much colder in about a month. This means breaking out winter gear for the troops, but that’s okay, because colder weather also means fighting season is coming to a close for this year. Considering there is a troop drawdown in place, fighting and attacks still occur too frequently for my liking. I know in real time when an attack or a casualty has occurred. How?

Now it’s a matter of survival because Crash’s new objective is to get home and make Trish his. CINDERELLA LBERTY EXCERPT (Rated for Mature Audiences Only 18+): Trish leaned toward Crash in the red vinyl booth and angled her mouth toward his ear. “They’re getting drunk.” “Yes, they are.” Truth be told, so was Crash. Not exactly drunk, but definitely feeling the effects. He could get away […]

CINDERELLA LBERTY EXCERPT: “I told you she was hot.” Zippy’s eyes were glued to Dawn, or rather Dawn’s tits, even as he spoke to Crash. “And I told you I didn’t want to be fixed up.” “Fine. Maybe I’ll go for it myself. I’d forgotten how smoking she was.” Crash shook […]
