    About this ebook

    A Soldier, Left Behind is a chilling tale of battle, brotherhood, and the bonds of war. Private Tommy Sinclair’s story is one of intrigue, heroism, and mystery. Pinned down, out of ammunition, and all alone, an extraordinary act of heroism changes the fate of one soldier and alters reality for those who dare to believe. I hope it finds its way to you. ~Backwoods~

    Contains intense battle scenes, gruesome depictions, and profanity, not intended for younger readers.

    My wife offered the image.She claims the likeness is remarkable.~​Do I have a slogan? Well, did once and my deer got away.~A website! Watch out fer spiders!~True happiness can only be achieved with a complete, and total, lack of awareness.~When I tweet, birds come. When I yahoo, somethin' good just happened. I threw away my fackbook many years ago, when my wife stole my heart. My weebly is all wobbly, myspace is a mess, and when I google I shut the door and light a match.~~~~~~~~●About The AuthorWe live off grid, hidden amongst hundreds of acres of the deep Ohio backwoods. Our tiny town is loaded with the type of folks that wave when you drive by, and stop when you need help. A quiet existence, far removed from the amenities that a modern life would provide, may seem impossible to some, but the dog loves it and the wife and kids don't seem to mind.We have no television and no electricity to run it if we had. That said, led lighting and 12v solar kits make off grid life quite modernized. My wife and I often run our portable dvd player at night, catching up on our favorite shows and any new movies that appear worth watching. A car radio provides some noise and a 12v on-demand water pump covers all of our water needs.I may soon write about our life without power. I may even publish it under my other name, so curious minds can seek out my true identity. However, the 'True Tales from the Backwoods - From Hunting Camp, To Home' is still in the scattered thoughts stage. I have plenty of stories to tidy up and get to you before then.~Thanks for Reading~~Backwoods~

      Chapter One

      The bullet thwacked through the soldier’s forehead, just above his left eyebrow. The pressure of the impact forcing his head to pop like a melon, stirring its contents and cleanly peeling the top, as if opened with a can opener, and bulging his eyes from their sockets like a scared cartoon character.

      Private Tommy Sinclair heard the thwack and looked over to Johnny, as his helmet fell from his head. They had lived next door to each other since Tommy moved into a small house in the suburbs near Akron at the age of six. They had been best friends ever since. Their friendship, and Johnny’s brain, now rested in a bowl of brain stew upon Tommy’s lap.

      They had raised hell together for a dozen years. From boys to men they had spent every step along the way side by side. They played football and video games, traded
