Growing up in the Ozarks, David spent a great deal of his time growing up with his Grandfather, learning how to fish, hunt, and trap. Additionally, he learned many of the old skills such as how to hold a star drill (which by the way I would not do for anyone now that my Grandfather is gone), hack a rail road tie and how to make hand made shake shingles. Joining the Marine Corps (0341) at the age of 17, he enjoyed his time in the grunts, but switched over to Counterintelligence after picking up Sergeant. Staying with the USMC for just over 20 years, he retired in 1998 at the age of 38, attaining the rank of CWO-2.
After retiring he has worked for a few different government agencies and as a contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan. Still active as a contractor, he enjoys writing in what spare time he can find, with his first published book coming out in May 2019, “Lone Star Odyssey”. His second book in the series should be out late fall 2019. Living in Texas with his wife and kids, most of his time outside of work is spent with his wife and kids, their horses and dogs, and with repairs around the ranch.

Why did you switch the pistol he was using.

Ah, good question. I have always preferred 1911’s in .45. Still carry a Kimber Raptor 1911 everyday, but if I have to go into combat I’m going to go with my CZ (19+1 -v- 8+1) but I’ll still carry my 1911 as my backup. Based on my experience, I never want to ever be in another situation where I run short on ammo. And if you have to go to your pistol your already having a bad day. Hopefully, that explains the why. Thanks for the question.

But where did he get the gun from. And if you were going to go cz why not staccato. All the love of 1911 with 26 rd mags and can have optics.

I was heartbroken when I started reading this book. Although I do understand some things about realism, I was so unhappy with the cold, clinical decision to “put all those dogs down.” I would hope someone would love dogs enough to care for mine and have made arrangements should something happen. I understand this book is about life, death, and the apoc. HOWEVER, why did you have to kill the dogs? And, tell me what page I go to to get past that so I can read the darn book I waited for so long.

Denise, trust me it was not easy to write. But I have seen this happen twice in real life, where packs of feral dogs have started hunting humans (kids) when they started starving. In the book Talon didn’t put all those dogs down, he fed them and left it up to the locals to decide. I’m sorry it was upsetting, but the whole point was to make people think about the responsibility of buying pets then casting them aside like an old pair of shoes. In fact Talon rescues one of the dogs and takes it with them. Hope you enjoy the rest of the book. Take care, David

David,
I do understand. All 9 of my various furbabies are rescues. Because someone couldn’t be bothered to take care of their pets. I am not a fan of people that just don’t get those babies love you and don’t understand why you left them. In fact, I have an intense hate for that, and it makes my eyes twitch. I am very mild mannered UNTIL I see that going on. I hate hate hate it. People that read this need to think twice about a decision to change a fur baby’s life. And plan for WTSHTF for these babies. I will keep reading it after I get over my heart hurting.
