Description

<p><strong><em>A tragic warrior lost in two worlds... Which one will he choose?</em></strong></p><p>The war in Iraq ended for Freddie when an IED explosion left his mind and body shattered. Once a skilled gamer as well as a capable soldier, he's now a broken warrior, emerging from a medically induced coma to discover he's inhabiting two separate realities.</p><p>The first is his waking world of pain, family trials, and remorse—and slow rehabilitation through the tender care of Becky, his physical therapist. The second is a dark fantasy realm of quests, demons, and magic, which Freddie enters when he sleeps. The lines soon blur for Freddie, not just caught between two worlds, but lost within himself.</p><p>Is he Lieutenant Freddie Williams, a leader of men, a proud officer in the US Army who has suffered such egregious injury and loss? Or is he Frederick, Prince of Stormwind, who must make sense of his horrific visions in order to save his embattled kingdom from the monstrous Horde, his only solace the beautiful gardener, Rebecca, whose gentle words calm the storms in his soul.</p><p>In the conscious world, the severely wounded vet faces a strangely similar and equally perilous mission to that of the prince—a journey along a dark road, haunted by demons of guilt and memory. Can he let patient, loving Becky into his damaged and shuttered heart? It may be his only way back from Hell.</p>

Story Behind The Book

The story beind my book is the story of everyday life. For so long I have felt we could live much happier, freer, more secure and more rewarding lives. I firmly believe that we can create a version of heaven on earth in our daily lives. However in our current society that is just not possible. The more we outsource our lives, then the more we will be exploited and abused by those in power. We are now working harder, commuting longer hours, paying more taxes, seeing less financial returns and security than ever before. This is because a malaise has set in with institutional society; be they governments, banks, public authorities or religions, they have decided the individual is not worth caring about anymore. The more we give these people power, then the more we will be abused and the worse our problems will become. That is the depressing bit. The highly positive alternative is that all this can change, and change quickly. If we start today to gain self empowerment in our daily lives we are improving our siutations. If we then align into healthy community within our localities we are amplifying that power. No longer will we accept any ruling/directive form the top down. We will instigate and fix problems at a local level. We will do this efficiently. We will gain security over our futures and security of resources. We will be able to face our future lives knowing that we can meet our needs. This is heaven on earth, knowing for sure that one is safe, protected and looked after for their stay on this nurturing planet. My book tells us how to achieve this.
