SOLOMON'S JUSTICE: A PTSD SHORT STORY Now Available on Kindle

SOLOMON'S JUSTICE: A PTSD SHORT STORY is now available on Kindle — click here to see this — and I am hoping that an entertaining fiction story can do what nonfiction often cannot do: encourage people suffering from PTSD to recognize their possible symptoms and seek help.

While this story is definitely fiction, it is composed of research (including at the LA County Veterans Court) and true anecdotes shared with me.

In addition, although this short story focuses on PTSD induced by combat experiences, PTSD can be brought on by non-combat trauma of all kinds.

(I write about non-combat trauma PTSD in the cozy mystery CAST THE FIRST STONE — click here to check out this novel on Kindle. I also write about PTSD before it was labeled as such in the YA short story PINKY SWEAR — click here for this short story on Kindle.)

Here is part of the Amazon review for SOLOMON'S JUSTICE written by Middle Grade children's author Jerrye Sumrall:

After reading this story about the triumphs and tragedies of helping veterans suffering from PTSD, I have gained a new understanding of a tragic disorder that forever changes the lives of men and women who have risked their lives to protect our freedom!


The author has presented the issue in such a simple story form that you don't have to be in the military or even know anyone in the military to understand the far-reaching effects of PTSD.

I hope that you will read the PTSD short story SOLOMON'S JUSTICE and share it with your friends. You never know when a fictional story — that I hope is also entertaining — may help others.

(This ebook short story also contains an excerpt from my women's friendship novel MRS. LIEUTENANT.)

And, as this post talks about military subjects, I want to add that CIA FALL GUY was inspired by my experiences living in Munich, Germany, when my husband was a U.S. Army intelligence officer stationed there.

New Cover for Novel MRS. LIEUTENANT

In celebration of five years since the publication of my novel MRS. LIEUTENANT -- inspired by the nine weeks I spent as a new Mrs. Lieutenant at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, in the spring of 1970 -- I have a new cover for the book.

My business partner Yael K. Miller designed the new cover based on my decision to emphasize the women's friendship angle of the story.

Why did I make this decision?

An online contact of mine told me her book group would not consider reading MRS. LIEUTENANT because it takes place during the Vietnam War. This reaction bothered me greatly because the spine of the story is the friendship of four women who are "thrown together" when their husbands go on active duty.

I have been very pleased with the reviews on Amazon by military spouses who talk about how accurately I have portrayed the military life. This was one of my goals in writing the book -- I wanted to "introduce" the military life to the majority of Americans who have no connection to this life.

I am hoping that this new cover will encourage more readers. And I would appreciate it if you would help spread the word about the novel, which was a 2008 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award semifinalist.
