"What did you do in the war, Grandpa?" asked my eleven-year-old great-granddaughter one evening. In the time it took her to ask that one innocent question, my thoughts slipped back more than seventy years to the summer and fall of 1943 and to the airfields of East Anglia and into the death-laden skies over Nazi-occupied Europe. The Eighth Air Force''s rule was simple: "Complete twenty-five bombing missions, and you can go home." The problem was, the odds of completing those twenty-five missions was almost nil.In our B-17 Flying Fortress, my friends and I had to fight off Germany''s finest fighter pilots in their Messerschmitt''s and Focke-Wulf''s and fly through flak barrages so thick it looked, felt, and sounded like we were caught in the middle of a Texas tornado. We risked asphyxiation in the thin air at altitudes of twenty-five thousand feet or higher and endured temperatures so low that without the forty pounds of protective clothing covering us from head to toe, including electrically heated bunny suits, we would have frozen to death in a matter of minutes.That one simple question convinced me that it was time that my family learned what I had done and the price my friends and I had paid during our war against fascism and tyranny, a topic that I had never really spoken about before.

Kassie Sinclair is a simple woman that leads a simple mundane life spending her days saving lives. But when she is abducted by a vile creature that looks spectacular in a three-piece suit, she is pulled into a world she never imagined could exist; a world that was anything but mundane. After Kassie is forced to save the life of a stranger that has been brutally beaten and tortured she learns that she has a special gift to heal supernatural beings; a gift that is coveted by the very creatures that abducted her. Now, she must trust the handsome stranger to protect her from the creatures of the supernatural realm, but will she trust him after she learns what he truly is? Dmitry Jensen, a fola dearg, a red blooded vampire, has spent the last twenty years searching for the woman responsible for the death of his parents. When he finally gets a lead on her whereabouts, he finds himself in the middle of a nest of blue blooded vampires, the fola gorm, the greatest enemy of his kind, without backup. After being captured, tortured, but not broken, Dmitry finds himself putting his life in the hands of a woman that looks identical to the woman that had tortured and killed his parents. Will he be able to look past his need for revenge in order to trust her enough to save his life and quite possibly capture his soul?

Telling our stories is a sharing of community, teaching, and healing as we all walk the same road of life. This is my story from the halcyon days of youth, a near-death experience, and events of synchronicity that changed my life and search for meaning. It''s an abstract of life''s wisdom lived and learned, covering the spectrum of our humanity, its conflicts, its joys, and the value of love, faith, and family, challenging us to question and reflect on what core values guide our lives and relationships to a healing process in remembering our essence of who we are!
