What inspired you to write your book? I wanted to show how difficult it was serving under the threat of a war with the Soviets.
Can you describe your writing process? I just sit down and write. The words come pretty easily.
How did you come to do what you’re doing today? My first book about my military career was so well received by other Cold War veterans I decided to turn it into a series and tell their stories.
Can you describe a typical day in your life? Most of my day is centered around my family. We are raising three granddaughters, which keeps us pretty busy. I try to write as frequently as I can.
We Were Soldiers Too
