Here's me on day 2 of my recent 22 for 22 Rucking Challenge.
The rucking challenge was something I thought up, for myself to heal mentally from my war experience as well as to bring awareness to the everyday plight that some face.
It is hard to transition from military life to civilian life, especially if you have any traumas from your service and that's why it is estimated that around 22 veterans a day kill themselves in the United States. This number is of course fluctuating but is very real.
I was rucking with an old Army pack filled with 22 lbs (and wearing my old combat boots) everyday for 2 miles for 22 days. I donated at the end to the National Veterans Foundation to help veterans when they need help dealing with suicidal thoughts and suicidal ideations.

I love cooking as well as watching movies, usually thrillers that make you think and gasp! (Bird Box, The Killer, Nowhere, are examples). Luckily for my family, my cooking doesn't make them think or gasp!
I am also very outdoorsy! I don't like sitting inside and doing nothing when there's a place I can be exploring!
I've just released my second novel, BODIES OF EVIDENCE, and I hope you like it as much as you did my first.
My second novel is set in the fictional town of Killorn, Arizona, and again, it is a psychological thriller with plenty of twists and turns.
My publisher tells me she thinks I am the Queen of Fear! I hope she's right, because I'm in the middle of writing my third novel for Provoco Publishing.
