My grandson, the inspiration for my character Noah Miller in
A Light Shines Forth, is home on
leave this week. To honor his service,
and the service of so many others, I have lowered the price of my book
throughout this week honoring veterans.
When I
began writing A Light Shines Forth,
my grandson explained what called him to serve our country and I knew I had to
include it in my book.
"Noah Miller was just finishing
his senior year. He didn't care much about his grades this semester; his
eyes were focused on his military ambitions.
It seemed forever since he began planning to go into military
service. He was part of a very patriotic family. He had been born on an army base. When he was in first grade the terrible 9/11
tragedy unfolded before his eyes on their television. Noah had grown up
watching the disaster over and over again throughout his school years. Every
year on the anniversary the newscasters would retell the horror and show the
film of the towers collapsing. Just as the airplanes used as weapons that
morning changed direction, that tragedy forever changed the path of his life.
Right then, in first grade, he had wanted to help. He promised himself that he would always take
care of those he loved. And now he couldn't wait until June when he would
finally graduate from high school. The week after graduation Noah would
begin basic training in the United States Air Force."
Follow the story as Noah graduates
from high school, goes through basic training and on to his assignment in
Okinawa. Feel the pride, worry and love
of his family back home. A book to read together or alone, to share with family
and friends, the perfect gift for someone you love. To honor my grandson and all our
military personnel, A Light Shines Forth
will be on sale November 11 - 16th.
