Hey readers!

So I wanted to share a little about how I came to write and self publish my first book. I’ve struggled with severe major depressive disorder for a number of years. I have always found it to be therapeutic to fearlessly pour out the misery that goes along with such a burden. Writing was a perfect outlet to do exactly that. I didn’t intend publish anything when I began writing. I simply was opening the valve of my hurting heart that stored up pain, guilt, shame and insecurities. I found that my experiences in the Marine Corps, as well as my faith in Jesus and my vivid imagination began to all be interwoven into my story. I let my Dad read my first 10 pages and he was adamant that I continue writing. So I did. I wrote more and more, not knowing where the story would lead until pen hit paper. After a couple of years I had a real story and I found that the more people read it, the more encouragement I received. So I decided to self publish. I’m continuing to get positive praise for the story and I’m currently working on part 2. If you read it I hope you will enjoy. Thank you all!
