Brief Author Bio: My name is Hannah. I love writing about the darker side of life, though you wouldn't be able to tell it if you met me. I'm quiet, but pretty social. Let's chat. |

Synopsis: GunMetal Gray
Don't Ask, Don't Tell: it would never apply to him, he would never be the man ostracized by his brothers, left for dead on a sand dune, with the justification of merely a whim --a scent of individuality on the bloodstained air. Todd Bennet is a man shattered and lost, as he recovers from a war no one seems to understand or believe, the single casualty of time and society in today's world of belonging. Indeed, ghosts of the past haunting his blazing quest for the future, Todd realizes that sanity was left in the sands of Baghdad, Iraq, along with his family and --most importantly-- his heart.
Excerpt: GunMetal Gray
I didn’t have much left to give, nothing truly of value: blood, sweat, tears, they had christened the swampy pitch of Paris Island. I had already pledged my life to my mother, the United States of America. Split between these two oaths, both written in grime and sealed by blood, I would fight. It would not be easy, and as I stared into the immortal eyes of angels shining vibrantly white in midnight darkness, I could already feel myself being torn.
