Yesterday was Memorial Day and I couldn’t help but think about my nephew, Corey. Corey is a sailor on his way to Iraq and I’m extremely proud of him. I’m equally proud of my grandfather, father, and brother for their service to the country. My grandfather served in World War II, my father was in Vietnam, and my brother, Rick served in Desert Storm. I’m grateful to the men and women who fought for the American way. One of my many prayers is that Corey comes home safely, along with the other soldiers in dangerous locations. The posse book will go out to the editor this week. I’m pleased with the way it turned out and am anxious to see it in print. Thunder Over the Prairie will be released in October 2009 – 131 years after the posse set off to catch Dora Hand’s killer. The book about my brother should be coming out not long after that.
