Hey team, I. M. Aiken here: I used excerpts of my novel “The Little Ambulance War of Winchester County” to craft a short story. If you enjoyed this story or any of my stories, please either buy books or recommend them to friends and peers.
I am recovering nicely from my injuries. I got the internal fixators removed from under the skin on my forearms just over 2 weeks ago. I am touch typing again with 10 functional fingers. And yesterday, I swam laps. While a third of my current norm, I did it.
At present, I am recording novel #3 called “Captain Henry: 2½ insurrections, 2 wars, 1¼ centuries + a story of love”. This novel that I wrote several years ago accidentally highlights the 1870s and the Iraq War of 2006. The 1870s when the US passed expanded civil rights laws, the 14th Amendment, and Posse Comitatus Act. More on that later. I landed on the story because Captain Henry is my own ancestor and his life, when I learned of it, screamed to be told.
