Accidents of Time and Place

Writers are also readers.  Here you will find some of the writers whose work I know. I recommend them to you as a friend recommends a friend.

Tom Lacombe, with whom I shared a panel discussion at Book'Em 2007 (http://www.bookemfoundation.org/) has written what I think is one of the best accounts of an infantryman's experience in Vietnam in his book Light Ruck: Vietnam 1968.  Although Tom was in-country a year after I was,  and though we were miles apart in mission, I know that it is true and truly written.  Light Ruck was published by Loft Press. Check it out at http://www.loftpress.com/bookmain/lightrucmain.

Another friend, Lisa Solod Warren, has just published a collection of essays (including one of her own) by several well-known writers under the title Desire: Women Write About Wanting.  While not a war story, the collection certainly illuminates a seldom exposed part of the battle of the sexes!  Find out more at http://www.lisasolodwarren.com/.

And Michael Warren, Lisa's husband, will bring you another view of that battle in his novel, The Estrangement of the Rain God (http://www.syndetyx.com/raingod).
