I've entitled this blog "In Time of War" because it's been created in a time of war and because I am a historian of war in general.
Mostly, however, I've created the blog as a place for me to create, to stimulate my mind in directions which my traditional fiction writing may not take me and as a way to keep the creative juices flowing when I'm not working on a project.
The first photo I've chosen to post is one from REUTURS of two female soldiers away at war. (Note the personal photos in the hat.) They remind me of my friend Shannon who fought in this war and who came home different from the way I remembered her, different in a way that only war can change you. I post the photo as a tribute to her and to all of our women at war. The men who fight for us, all of whom are better men than I, are no less deserving of such tribute and you will likely see photos of them as well.
I’m likely to post all sorts of pictures and stories, and this blog won’t always be of a serious nature. Sometimes it might even be down right silly.
Lastly, if you are a person of a conservative mind, I doubt very much this blog will be to your taste, though you are indeed welcome to read it and to share your thoughts…

Jim,
I really like your blog! Looks very good--nice piece of writing. That's a great photo of the two lady soldiers sacked out on one another. Good set up too. I especially like the way you define yourself.

I forgot to say, the picture of Simba is great.
