I’m John Garner. I'm a retired veteran and high school football coach. I joined the HDCWC Wordsmiths critique group in 2012, and through their support and guidance, especially that of Richard Zone, Mary Langer Thompson, and Jenny Margotta, I have self-published six books, unpublished four, and am working on #7 right now. It's the life story about LTC (ret) Tony Marshall, a Vietnam POW and retired United Airlines pilot, who lives in our town.

Life rarely announces the moments that will matter most. Sometimes they arrive in the roar of a football stadium or in the silence before a game. Sometimes they come through a conversation with a stranger, the touch of a hand, an unexpected act of kindness, or a memory that refuses to fade. |
