Im from oklahoma and have lived here for most of my life. After Highschool, I went to the Marine corps. My first deployment was to afghanistan. while there, i began to fantasize about characters that intrigued me and stories of epic adventures. I remember sitting on post close to the end of the deployment talking with a grunt from alpha company. I told him my story idea and he told me. Frank. You have to write that story and that is where it all began.
