Long-distance relationships present numerous challenges.
The horrors of war are indescribable.
Waiting for a letter from one’s beloved can feel like an eternity.
Only true love could overcome such overwhelming odds, right?
Follow the correspondence between a soldier on the front lines and the one he loves and see if such overwhelming odds can, in fact, be overcome.
“To love one such as I may be called ludicrous, but my love is the only certainty in a world of ephemeral delights and momentary joy. Where there is suffering, there can also be tranquillity; where there is heartbreak, love has its place. Run through life without regret, choosing not to be distracted by what’s purpose is only to steal time, and rather spending every second in the constant company of what adds colour to your life. Perhaps, in the modern world, to follow your heart seems like an antique ideal, better left in paperbacks than applied in daily life, but if all individuals were to adopt such an approach towards living, what would be the consequences faced by society at large? Is it not possible that to follow your heart is the only true way to live?”

Author Bio:
I’m not quite sure the genre I fit into, but I find that where I write significantly influences the story’s mood and how it unfolds. I wrote my most recent book freehand, and while understanding and editing my hurried scribbles was a nightmare, I loved writing without a filter and letting the story tell itself. My writing process: I start with an idea and do little to no planning unless an idea comes to me that I must fit in somehow. I love exploring how different characters would uniquely handle situations, and I hope my characters feel real because of that. While perhaps not the best time to get into writing, given the artificial competition churning out hundreds of books a day, I have found something special in writing that I wish I had found years ago. I’m still learning to spin a yarn, but I hope my improvement is evident from book to book. These are my stories, my filtering of the world around me into fiction, and I hope you enjoy them.
