Excerpt from, "Power in the Shadows".

.....Later, it was to endure healing, working, attempting to stay fit, and getting ready for trial, that I would soon testify in. The exhaustion of physical pain, let alone not knowing exactly the outcome of the trial, nor my health, nor much of my future was all encompassing and exhausting, as I fought off flashbacks, sleepless nights at times too.     The aftermath; as the dust settled from the medical treatments which would carry on past a decade beyond the trial and conviction of my attacker, was beyond exhausting.   As well as trying to build another career so I could work and not be in so much pain. All encompassing, all exhausting. More disruptions which would keep me in a near constant state of exhaustion, I decided were normal.   To get myself into a very physically fit arena, I decided to run as far as I could. Even after I became a mother, exhaustion was my mainstay and I would fight it to survive another angered, anxious day, in hope that the exh...

Excerpt from, "Power in the Shadows"

Being a former US Marine, you don’t lose that thinking of being a Marine. Of representing honor, strength, toughness and the like that, which goes with that title.   You are supposed to win battles that win wars. Now matter how ‘Goliath’, the enemy appears to the grunt; it is eventually conquered and disposed of.   That has been and probably will always be my mindset and most likely would be the mindset of any US Marine even decades after retirement, serving in a war or serving during peacetime, there is no difference.     As well, so I was abruptly told by my Godmother and her brother, my Dad, “You just pick yourself up by your bootstraps and move along. Keep a stiff upper lip.”   Deep down I think that’s just rubbish.   Everyone processes trauma in their own way and there is almost no wrong or right way, it’s trial and error for everyone. https://www.amazon.com/Jody-Lynn-Reicher/e/B00R3VUZ18/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_10?qid=1418802234&sr=1-10

My junior year was perhaps my most difficult school year on nearly every level.   Home was not good.   Running was not good. My health was constantly compromised.   Hamstring and past foot injuries hampered my running performances.   Which frustrated me to no end.   I never enjoyed being social with girls outside of school.   So I seldom went over anyone’s house and I couldn’t really invite anyone over to my house because I didn’t know how the atmosphere in my house would be.   Besides, I felt I was more ...

Excerpt from 9th book, 4th novel: "Anger Love, Rage Peace"

    She ran out of the store into the mall barefoot and in her bra and panties.   Security was called.   Local police, then county police were called in as well. She had to be tackled. Ms.Turner-Calico was so out of her mind.   That as she was originally hand-cuffed in the back seat of one of the local sheriff’s cars, she then kicked out the back window of the patrol car, smashing through with feet.     Between the blood coming from her feet and legs, a moment that temporarily stopped her was the shattering of both her heel bones. Then as the EMT’s arrived, it appeared Ms.Turner-Calico was going nowhere. She then was put into a straight-jacket; as the EMT’s had to safely tend to her bleeding body parts as she was still in a fit of rage. https://www.amazon.com/Jody-Lynn-Reicher/e/B00R3VUZ18/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_10?qid=1418802234&sr=1-10
