Hi Michael! I’m also an Army Veteran (Military Intelligence/Linguist/Airborne!). I wrote my first novel while in Kuwait and Balad, Iraq, it’s a military fictional piece. I think it’s awesome that you’re screenwriting. Please contact me if you want to collaborate on something—I’d be honored to work with you.
