When I first started writing the Final Verdict, it was about so many things, and none of them had anything to do with being an author. I was dealing with medical issues sustained in the military, and coping with TBI and PTSD. Being an author is not what I wanted to do in life.

For many years, I put down the book and didn’t work on it. Then, I needed a break from life. I turned back to writing, not to become an author, but as a way to express myself, for my eyes alone to see.

Growing up, I knew what I wanted to be. I was an outstanding wrestler as well as a good soccer player. I didn’t have many friends, maybe three at most, but I didn’t want to continue with sports. I wanted to be a soldier. And I was, until I wasn’t.

What started as a coping tool has turned into something so much more. I am glad that I took this road and decided to share my book. Shane is someone I can deeply relate to as a person, and I hope you will too as the series continues.

Today, let’s celebrate that Shane Alexander and The Final Verdict have made it to Times Square!
