Writing my first book

I've been tossing around a story that I think would make a great book. The idea is pretty simple, but very emotional. However, I've decided to use the truth of the story and throw in some fiction to make it relevant to what's happening in our world today.

The title of the book came pretty quick. I'm going to call it "The Last Post". The premise is based on an actual event that took place in the desert of 29 Palms California while I was serving as a United States Marine.

I'm going to start the book on my blog thomwriting.blogspot.com. Hopefully I can get through the first chapter really quick.
