Hi Jim, I took a look at your library on Amazon and was wondering, which of the books you’ve written is your favorite? Thanks, Lacey Hi Lacey, It’s a tough question to answer. Asking a writer to choose his favorite book is often like asking him to choose his favorite child. It’s hard to do. You love them all and often for different reasons. … Read More Favorite Book! #Writing #Author #Advice

Not one of their newer songs, but I have to admit, this one grew on me. I’ve never really been a fan of their lead vocalist, but good music, good song topics (history/war), and a sort of neutral take is all something I very much enjoy.
