As Veterans Day approaches, I’ve found myself reflecting on the meaning of service, brotherhood, and the unseen battles that many soldiers continue to face long after they return home. My book, Honor and Sacrifice: The Never Ending War, was born from those reflections — a fictional story inspired by real experiences of courage, loss, and resilience.
This story isn’t just about war; it’s about human Read more of this blog post »

William Ortega liked an answer from Christine Feehan: Hi Christine, I love your "Torpedo Ink" series. All the books have the guys finding their "woman". Would you (or could you) consider writing one where the guy doesn't "get the girl"? That would be interesting.. Thanks for your time and great books! Susan Hi Susan! I write romance. That is a genre that promises a happy ever after in the end. The guy always gets the girl. Christine

William Ortega liked an answer from Mehmet Çalışkan: if you could meet one famous person, who would it be and why? If I could meet one famous figure, it would be Enki, the Sumerian god of water and wisdom — the same figure whose allegory I explored through Eric in my book Children of Jotunheim. I’d love to hear the real story from him — the truth behind The Eridu See Mehmet’s answer. Mehmet Çalışkan
