I'm so excited to announce that my latest book is now available for pre-order!
End of a New Life is the third book in the Heroes of Grant's Crossing series. Like Wayward Guilt and Safe Now, it can be read as a standalone and features veterans navigating the return to civilian life in the heartland.
I can't wait for you to read Derek's story now that he's been in the civilian world without his best friend, Joey. He's one of my favorite characters, so troubled, so smart, so sweet, so lost. In real life, veterans deserve significantly more support than what we, as a nation, currently provide.
It’s been over two years since Army veteran Derek Mitchell lost his best friend on the field of combat in Afghanistan. Back home in Grant’s Crossing, he turns to the bottle and one-night stands, two vices that become less and less reliable with each passing day.
As the nightmares worsen and the drinking consumes him, Derek retreats from his friends and family, hellbent on surrendering to a battle no one else can see.
Just as he receives an ultimatum that puts his job on the line, a stranger arrives with plans for the abandoned Victorian home next door.
With new motivation to seek help, he forges an unexpected friendship. Will it be enough to piece his life back together before he hits rock bottom?
