I am a disabled American veteran. I have a family of six. Much of my strength comes from my family, and everything else comes from YHVH. I am currently residing in the brick city. We came out of the army and settled here because of the vast people groups. Our neighborhood is very close knitted to one another.
I suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is a mental disorder stemming from some sort of terrible trauma suffered. My traumas stem from childhood and the military, but I only have dreams and flashbacks of war. I am very interested in writing about PTSD and letting people know what it is like.
At present I only have one book in the making, but hopefully when this is done, I will be able to bring more out. I plan on writing in several different genres so I hope to write many books.
I chose watt-pad, because it is an arena of many people who will be able to give me an idea of who my audience will be. I pray that it will be a large audience of many cultures and ages. I do hope to publish and even sell my books at some point, but nothing is in my mind at present.

The sofer is about a scribe. I think it will show the heart of Judaism toward children, and how important that children are for the community. https://www.wattpad.com/story/100367135View all Conversations
