Another Book On the Horizon

It's Friday - Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I've been thinking long and hard about writing again -- and I finally began putting pen to paper. Well, fingers to keyboard more like it. I'm going to write another book and this time, I'm healthy. I know Locked in Time - I Still Remember and Always Will upset many of the Beirut Bombing victim's families because no doubt they wanted me to write about what happened in the weeks following the tragic bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut on October 23, 1983. The simple truth is -- day after day we did the same thing and it wasn't a very pretty sight. I wrote what I could to the best of my ability and I did it for me -- because it was a self-help book. Many who pick up my book think that it will be mostly about the bombing and it was not. While I will never forget what happened, I have to say, the book was more about my personal life experiences and much of the mental anguish I was suffering as a result. Today, after treatment (thankfully) from the Department of Veterans Affairs in Lyon's New Jersey at the military Women's Treatment Unit (WTU), I gained some valuable tools to help me cope with life's tragedies and now, I just want to write about it. I want to write about mental illness and how devastating it can be to family members and I want to tell the story of how "angels continue to walk" with me everyday to help me spread the word that the real "GRACE" comes from God -- whoever He or She may be!
