The hero is a warrior who fights with abnormal abilities. He meets and falls deeply in love with a beautiful Eurasian college professor. He is already married and has an infant daughter. He is torn between his true love and his wife from hell. He fights with fierce dedication for the mountains tribes. The events of the war were sworn to secrecy for 20 years. It has only recently been made part of the public record. The official version is sanitized and false. I am going to introduce you to an adventure that only a few have survived. Some of those who have survived have committed suicide, died in other conflicts, died of cancer, been murdered, and disappeared. The ones who have survived all that are getting old. We have a story to tell. I don't think there is anything as sad as an old man without any stories to tell unless it's a young man who does not crave adventure.

In Fallujah, during a particularly difficult time in the Iraq War, a group of Marines are deployed on a tour that will bring them closer together, while threatening to tear them apart. The Delta Company Outlaws are a group of USMC infantrymen deployed in 2004 to one of the most hostile war zones in the world. Through the memoirs of one Marine, this touching story encapsulates the drama surrounding everyday life during the Iraq War. With a bond formed through blood, sweat, and tears, a group of unfamiliar Marines will come together stronger than family. Memoirs of an Outlaw: Life in the Sandbox is a dramatic new take on the Iraq War that focuses more on the personal aspects of war rather than exclusively on combat. With a touching approach to the camaraderie, daily life, and unfortunate losses, this enlightening memoir by Robert M. Tanner delves into the brotherhood that’s formed throughout a deployment while documenting the combat experiences and daily life of a Marine. Using personal experiences, this engaging story hooks readers with drama, action, and honesty while painting an illuminating picture of both the funny and tragic sides of war. Inspired by a bond that’s stronger than blood, Memoirs of an Outlaw began as a therapeutic way to document wartime experiences and eventually led to a full-fledged memoir. Deciding to focus on the daily life and camaraderie of war, the story captures the tension, drama, and bonding that comes with combat and living in a hostile environment far away from home. By focusing on the humanistic side of the armed forces, Memoirs of an Outlaw perfectly captures a unique moment in time during an extraordinarily challenging part of the war.

This is the tale of two Irishmen: one is the youngest son of a dirt poor tenant farmer and the other is a young idealistic rebel. Both end up on American soil. One immigrates to the city of New York and the other to the city of New Orleans. As they start to settle into American society, the country is plunged into conflict. This war tests them in ways never imagined. In this story I hope to do justice to the "Immigrant's story" and accurately showcase the immense bravery of the Irish during the American Civil War.

It is the night of of April 18, 1775, and the British Regulars are out to strike a blow against the rebellious colonists of Massachusetts. The young men of Acton, MA along with men from surrounding towns are called on to serve their colony. However, there is a major issue for these men, when they discover someone in their company is a spy for the British Army. Discovering the traitor in their midst in time could determine the outcome of one of the first battles of the Revolutionary War. This is dedicated to all of the patriots who served on the Lexington Alarm at the North Bridge, Bunker Hill, and elsewhere (this includes several of my ancestors). All Americans are indebted to them and their service to the cause for independence.
