What are you currently reading?

My name is Jessica Scott. I am a soldier. I am a wife. I am a mother. This is my story. There are many like it but this one is mine.

In 2009, Army second lieutenant Jessica Scott deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn. It was a year of many firsts.

This is the first person journey through a combat tour in Iraq, through being a woman in the army and learning to be an officer in the unforgiving environment of a brigade combat team.

This is the journey of a writer, learning to find her voice. This is the journey of a mother, confronting the emotions of leaving her children. This is the story of an inexperienced lieutenant, growing into a leader. This is the journey as it happened, without commentary.

This is her blog. There are many blogs from the Iraq war, but this one is hers.

…the Death Angel visits a small town year after year

…an old collector of clocks holds the keys to Armageddon

…a nocturnal game turns deadly when an unexpected player joins

…a church of snake-handlers insist on introducing a visitor to their god

…a group of scarecrows reveal their true nature to the farmer who made them.

What do you think you’ll read next?

Louise Palmer is a settled-down person. A woman who wants nothing more than to remain in the same house until the day she dies.  When her husband, Clay, announces an intention to quit his job and move to Florida, her life is thrown into a turmoil of mixed emotions and strained loyalties. Torn between Clay’s desire for “the good life” and the lifelong friendships of her quilting club, Louise struggles with what to do…until her best friend hatches a scheme to thwart the move.

Before she discovers the truth of what matters most, a marriage will be tested, family relationships will fall apart and the friendships Louise tried to hold onto will change dramatically.
