Military Readers & Writers discussion

RW Holmen

I am publishing a series of eBook short stories based on my Vietnam experience. I refer to the eBooks as "autobiographical fiction" because they are based on actual incidents but with literary embellishment.

An early review suggests "the writing is confident and clear, hauntingly honest, brutally true ... bold, dark, and intense."

BZ, RW. And always good to have such a fine review to post on the back of books, including e-ones.

Suggestion: Check Military Writers Society of America, 800-plus members. Many are successful authors -- nonfiction, fiction, memoirs, poetry, music, art, etc.

It's a great network in which authors and hope-to-be ones (like me)support one another. MWSA book reviewers -- you can use a review for promotion/sales.

(Dues are inexpensive)

Much success with your eBook short stories. And thank you for your service to our country.

Excited to join the group. I just published a true story about a Vietnamese woman called Standing Up After Saigon. She faced challenges of polio, war, poverty, Communist rule, separation from her father for 15 years, and immigration to the U.S.

Wanted to let any interested folks know that my novel, Serpents Underfoot, will be free in Kindle format in honor if Veterans Day on Nov 11th & 12th. Here is one quote from a 5 Star review:

What did I like? This is the first book that I have read from this author, but I was struck with the realism of the storyline. He truly knew his subject and characters and brought them to life with the stroke of his pen/computer. The reality of the storyline hit me like a ton of bricks. It seems like this was written as an episode of today’s life. Being an animal lover and knowing a little about working dogs, I was very impressed with the information and the use of his K9 partner, it was awesome.

What will you like? Extreme action, passionate characters, powerful storyline, well written, strong and yet touching with many lives put into action and learning curves. Well thought out and shows the intense research in every page from the martial arts to the life of the military. Action and reality make this an explosive action thriller for your next read.
