    About this ebook

    A mysterious love letter, no name or return address shows up in a soldier’s hands, looking for her lost Beloved Soldier. Unable to find him, she reaches out to another who perhaps no longer feels the reach of his own woman, hoping to touch someone who will in turn bring back her beloved.
    Army Corporal Christian Brice was the first to receive the letter, coming only a month after his fiancé had sent him a Dear John. So moved and touched,, he writes her back, but unable to send it directly, he shares both the letter from her and the correspondence he wrote with others like him.
    Thus begins the journey of a woman’s heartfelt words written on paper across a war torn are to deliver a sweet kiss to those who need to feel it.

    “Wish I had received a letter like that after I got my Dear John letter while I was serving in the Army during Vietnam. Great story brought back memories both good and sad. Again great story and I can’t wait until your next book comes out.” -- US Army, Kenneth Scoggins --

    Author

    Talon P.S.

    Both Proud Indy Authors: Talon P.S. and his twin, Tarian P.S. love to torment their editor with a nefarious world of foreign-language, slang, local dialect, stretched/outside-of-the-box synonyms. They’re also known to throw in some con-lang at times. Though it will do you no good to scold them for it, they’ll point to Shakespeare with a retort along the line of “He started it.”This, of course, is all thrown in there with the dyslexia soup stock they both suffer from that makes editing with them a joy. [joy: n see mental illness]As a results of the abuse to their editors, the ignored kitties, and don’t even bring up the house chores, the final product comes out as richly-detailed, holographic worlds of Suspense, Science Fiction, and Erotic Romance, both Het and Gay. Not to leave out Talon's favorite genre: Space Sci-Fi Frontiers; and Tarian's favorite genres Post-Apocalyptic Dark Fantasies, all for readers to submerse themselves into and escape from the mundane.So be sure to have your reading glasses ready and stake out some prime cozy real estate cushions, because once you open these pages— Oh, the places we will go!

      Dear Soldier, With Love - Talon P.S.

      To all the soldiers who have fought to protect others. Because even when you don’t know it, there is someone who is waiting for you to come back home.

      And to those left behind, that stuck with them.

      We would also like to make a special dedication to my neighbor, though he may never know I did this. His inventions of the specialized vehicles, now known as the MRAPS and the Breacher, have saved so many lives in a time of war and fighting. For that, I salute him respectfully, because while a few of my friends never made it back. Many of them did—

      Special Thanks to Kimber Kahn for her time and skill as a grammar nazi for making

      Dear Soldier, With Love a dyslexia-disaster free zone.

      ABOUT THE AUTHORS

      Christian gripped the letter in his hand for a long silent moment. The pain he felt since Sandra’s last letter still weighed heavily in his heart. They were supposed to be married and then he got called out to the war. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy on her, waiting, wondering from day to day if he was safe— alive— holed up in some dismal, ruined shelter or meat chunks served up on scrap metal at the last check point. But, she should have known whatever pain she was going through— hell was far worse for him.

      He remembered their last night together, how hard it was just to have the night to themselves. The families and friends had gathered, everyone wanting to be with him— hang out— wanting to be close just one last time. There was nothing but, bad news reaching home from this place. And Christian Brice, the ‘good boy’ from Tampa, was called up on the second wave of deployments to head out, right in the middle of it. He practically brought his momma to tears when he begged her to go home. He wanted his last night alone in Sandra’s arms, not listening to his mother’s wailing baby stories. Not that he didn’t love his momma, but he’d left that nest a long time ago and he could see the hurt in Sandra’s eyes, needing to be the center of his attention, one last time. If only he had known it was really going to be their last.

      Alone and in his arms, he kissed her tears and made love to her, making sure she came more than once by his touch before he let himself have his first release. God, how he remembered it. So intense, after holding it back for so long. But, even better when she cried out his name as her body shook violently underneath his weight and she blushed afterwards. She’d never had an orgasm so hard, so brightly intense before, and he knew that for certain. He’d been her first and every one until that last night.

      She knew when they dated in high school he had big plans of going into the Army. She also knew the night when she said yes to marry him, he was going to stay in it. She just never expected a war to break out over night. But then, who did? The covert ops that snuck out during the middle of the night had been a hush-hush operation. Now, the whole world knew.

      That was two years and too long ago. His Sandra broke under the pressure and sent him his Dear John letter just a month ago.

      As an E-4 Corporal in the Army, now he had to stay focused despite that pain weighing on him? That he had to somehow stay alive? For what? To go home to an empty place in his bed?

      A tear streamed down his cheek, taking with it five days worth of sand and playa. He dropped his head wanting to hide, but the pain was too fresh— too raw— there was no hiding it and he was too rode weary to try. He dropped his head back against his pack instead, starring up at the crumbing roof over their heads. Fuck it; he didn’t care if the guys said anything about it. He wasn’t the only one to get a Dear John in the past few months. His fist blindly still gripping the unopened letter he’d gotten just five days ago.

      It had been an unwelcome shock, like a Bowing knife shoved straight into his chest with an added twist, when the Lieutenant at the last station called him over to pick up the envelope with his name written on it. There was no return address, but the handwriting on the front was neat and as lovely as any woman’s could be and the envelope spritzed with some perfume smelled all the sweeter.

      His heart, his mind, it hurt too much to read anything from Sandra. Was she writing to say she was sorry? To say she was hurting and said the wrong thing and wished she could take it all back? No, if anything she wrote to tell him not to take it personal, it was just something she had to do and she never meant for any of this to hurt him. That’s probably what it said. Don’t take it personal.

      He took the letter from the Lieutenant and stuffed it in his pack and walked off like he was some dark cloud brooding about the camp. He was just glad they were heading out; he didn’t have time to read the letter just then. And there was no reading or being off task when you’re in charge of operating the high-tech SPARK vehicles with the task of clearing the roads and fields from hidden mines; so the troops coming in behind you can make their destination safely.
