Experiencing different cultures and forging friendships in several continents, I have plunged headlong into a long nurtured dream of writing books. After half completing a novel, I was motivated to set it aside until I satiated a more relevant subject matter. When my son enlisted in the US Navy and became a Corpsman currently serving in Iraq, I evolved a poignant story about the Middle Eastern culture, Islam, the deep American values that motivate our culture and how all these become embroiled in the Iraqi war.
