In 2009 I made the decision to join the military as a combat engineer in the US Army. I served three years as an active-duty soldier. From September 2010 to September 2011, I served on a twelve-month tour in Iraq.
During my deployment, I discovered my interest in writing poetry. I also wrote about my day-to-day living in a journal. Once my contract ended, I was inspired to write a story my late brother and I had thought up when we were fifteen and sixteen. After my brother passed away in 2009, I thought more and more about the story we came up with, but with him gone, I decided to input some of my real military experiences and other real-life events. I decided to mix them in a science fiction novel as a tribute to my brother. I also gave him the character he had created as himself, getting him as close to his actual personality as I possibly could.ver menos
