Destiny

by Ansley Gilmore

Overview

Pretty ladies would smile at James when they saw his muscular features and thick dark hair. Often, they had initiated conversations with him. He had always felt comfortable talking to a lady that approached him. And, he liked the excitement of asking them out for the first date. Usually, the ladies said yes. But when an IED blew up his Hummer in Iraq, everything changed. Now he regrets his shame when they see the shiny metal claw that resides where his hand should be. If only he could erase that horrible day in Iraq. Then, one day while feeding the squirrels after his morning jog, James met Liz. Like previous attractive ladies, she approached him and introduced herself. She is young, smart, and sexy. She could have any guy. She doesn't seem to care whether James has a prosthesis. Why is she different? Does she like James? Is there hope for romance in the life of this wounded soldier?

About the Author

Hi,

I hope you are enjoying my story.

Please let me know how you like (or dislike) it. My email address is: [e-mail]

Thank you!

I have always lived in my make-believe world. It was the best kept secret, until I started writing, and now everyone knows I'm schizo, ha. Well, hopefully, my imaginary friends will entertain you and bring you some diversion.

In my "real" world I like riding motorcycles, snow skiing, snow boarding, sailing boats, flying airplanes and gliders, and most any activity that is outdoors. I wish I had the opportunity to climb Mount Everest, or search for Noah's Ark on Mount Arafat.

As you can surmise, I like a good challenge, and writing is certainly that. In the end, my hope is that you enjoy venturing into my make-believe world as we go on adventures around the world, and maybe even into space (hint about one of my adventure books in the making).

Finally, I must confess that the most challenging puzzle I found is the human heart. What makes us tick? Why do we do the things we do, sometimes with full conviction, sometimes with hesitation? What makes us happy and sad, sometimes both at the same time? These are questions that I like to broach in my writing. Relationships are complicated, but only because we are complicated. To understand a relationship we must understand the "other" person, and to that end we must understand ourselves first because with all of our differences, we also have much in common. Under standing ourselves, our strengths and weaknesses, is the first step to understanding others.
