Book Description
The loneliness and isolation we find ourselves in can be overwhelming and debilitating, it's not something we can stoic away in staged instagram pictures and moody soundbites. Creating a new tribe, network and emotional fabric to rely on was incredibly hard but also vital. The people who can make up your circle are there, just be open to who it is.⠀If you can do that, if you can take that step, get past the outrageously toxic veteran community and look at who actually helped when it mattered - they're your people. They're your real brothers and sisters, not the fake 'we're here for you' wankers on social media who won't help beyond a hashtag.⠀ Your circle is out there, waiting for you.⠀ I think these books have been that journey, are still that journey - whether I realised that when I started them or not. I have no idea where the original idea came from to have 3 books in a series, I'd love to say there was some grand over-arching plan but that would be a lie. It was New Years day 2019 when I announced to no one in particular that I was going to curate a book by veterans to help veterans. I wasn't really thinking much past the first book, then somehow this has all morphed into a series of 3. In my mind I knew the book shouldn't be read in a linear way, you don't need to start at the beginning, which became none of the books need to be read in any order or on any particular page. You should be able to pick them up and read whatever and wherever you happen to land on, and take from that what you can - which is hopefully 'something'. Is the last Veteran Collective book? Never say never, it's certainly the last in this 'series' lets say. 3 books out there which are hopefully doing the rounds helping someone, somewhere, somehow is more than I could have ever imagined. There's plenty of other people now getting their story out there, and the more that do can only be a good thing. No one is coming, it's up to us. Maybe that's what it's always been about, never alone. Nunquam Solus

The Wounded Don’t Cry
Author: Quentin Reynolds
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786253275
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Quentin Reynolds, noted author and columnist for Colliers magazine, was among the select group of American correspondents that recorded and recounted the Second World War in Europe from the very beginning. In this witty, perceptive and personal account the author tells of the fall of France and the Battle of Britain. “Collier’s our reporter tells the inside story of everyday life in England, particularly in London, and makes you feel, for sure “‘there’ll always be an England’”. No mawkish sentimentality here, but cold hard facts about people, conditions and life and death. Reynolds was there in time to see France Collapse and he bears witness to the courage of the French soldiers, bewildered and betrayed by their leaders. He escaped south to Bordeaux, he got to England, to Ireland. He sees the Englishman in his home, his pub, his factory, his hospital, his airfield, his shelter. You meet R.A.F. men, labor leaders, members of the cabinet. Without belittling the punishment England is taking, he gives you confidence in their survival. Interesting and enlightening reading.”-Kirkus Reviews.

Book Description
Reunited with her ex, a military vet faces internal battles and physical danger in this romantic suspense tale by a New York Times–bestselling author. Mariah Conrad has come home. Badly wounded on active duty in Afghanistan and finally released stateside, she has no family to call on and nowhere to go—until Quinn Walker arrives at her bedside. Quinn . . . her brother-in-arms, ex-lover and now maybe her future. Quinn brings Mariah to his log cabin in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky to rest and recuperate both physically and emotionally. While she’s incredibly grateful, Mariah is also confused and frustrated. She’s always stood on her own two feet, but now even that can literally be torture. She’s having flashbacks and blackouts, hearing helicopter noises in the night. She wants to push Quinn away—and hold him closer than ever. But will she get the chance? Those helicopters are more than just post-traumatic stress; they’re real—and dangerous. Bad things are happening on the mountain. Suddenly there’s a battle to be fought on the home front, and no guarantee of survival.
