Introduction
In a journey that has spanned the rigors of the Marine Corps to the penning of the moving narrative found in The Price For Glory, my passion has always been fueled by giving a voice to the silent battles many endure daily. As a Marine Corps veteran, the plight of those grappling with PTSD resonates deeply with me, echoing through the theme of destiny that underscores my novel. Becoming a self-published author in Kansas City was indeed my destiny, as it was a story that was a lifetime in the making. The Price For Glory is a story that beckons to be shared far and wide, not just for its narrative but for the conversation it ignites, a conversation that has found a welcoming home in the hearts of independent bookstore communities across the country.

Embarking on a journey to foster partnerships, my marketing team and I reached out to independent bookstores nestled in various corners of the country - from the historic neighborhoods of St. Louis, MO to the picturesque locales of Bellingham, WA and Pasadena, CA, and right in my backyard in Kansas City, MO and Overland Park, KS. Each partnership crafted was more than a business collaboration; it was an alliance to foster a community of readers who sought depth and resonance in the narratives they pursued. Promoting The Price For Glory This network became a tapestry of communities woven together by a mutual appreciation for literary depth and the powerful narratives that guide the human spirit towards resilience and understanding.

These ranged from virtual author speaking events, where I could connect personally with readers spread across the nation, to regular features of these wonderful bookstores on my social media pages. Each post, each author event, not only shed light on the immersive world of "The Price For Glory" but also highlighted the vital role that these independent bookstores play as custodians of culture and literature, steering readers towards their next great read.

Destiny defies logic, philosophy and theology. It has been in control of my life seemingly forever! I offer each reader of my novel a discussion of that phenomenon whether confounded, confused or just overwhelmed by its complexity that permeates at some level for all.

Buy a copy of my novel. Go ahead! I dare you to read about the lives of characters whose souls, incomplete, tortured and confused attempt to understand then follow the dictum demanded of their Destiny.

I wanted to make a space where we could talk about my book, and the story created throughout these pages. Please, feel free to comment and let me know what you think, your questions, or what interests you about my story.
