(view spoiler)[Thanks David. I am glad that you are OK. Was it the Tartarian subject or was the Atlantis videos also getting attacked? Just so you know, both subjects are connected. When your channel vanished, I worried because when the Tartarians feel threatened, they act on it, like they did with Lincoln, Kennedy brothers and Larry McDonald. Congrats on your new book. May it do well. Keep in touch, Everett. uespa1@yahoo (hide spoiler)]

Thanks Everett. I'll send you an email in a sec.. It was both, and yes, I agree they are related. I finally stated to realize they were both just pieces of the same puzzle. The Atlantis part to my mind is proven. The Tartarian stuff is so big its hard to know how to tackle it. But it was i think the fact that I was starting to tie them together a little..

Hi Everett: FYI I lived in Loveland, CO for about a decade :-)
Thanks for the note. I'm fine and actually have a new book coming out this weekend. I took the YouTube channel down because, for some reason that I don't understand, it was generating a lot of ill-will.

Hi and thanks for the question! I had kind of ignored my memories from my service and was always focused on looking forward not backward. Then I got the idea to use some of my military experiences in a book series, and once I started writing and remembering all kinds of stuff came flooding back. It has proved therapeutic even though that was not why I started doing it.
I'm working on the next Dirk Lasher book now, Prayer Drum, which takes place largely in the Dorian Gap, and it is the most fun I have had yet remembering and spending time 'back in the good old days' :-)

I'm always amazed how we are called to do something only to find out it helps us in some unexpected way. I've found that happening in my own life.
I'll certainly be taking the time to check out your books. The descriptions sound like they are books I enjoy reading.
I'll also recommend them to other Veterans and to my friends and suggest that my local library carry them.
Have a wonderful day and best of luck with your Dirk Lasher book.

Hi Ben: Happy to engage but I am not certain I understand the question?
David Edward
The timing of this automated question is interesting. I just released a book exactly based upon this question called Panama Red. I drew upon some of my experiences as a Special Agent in the US Army in the 1980's.

I find 2 or 3 images that I can look at related to the story I am telling.
If I have writers block I stare at the images until a new idea comes or I go searching for a new image to replace one of the ones I have.
It works exceptionally well.
I never have more than 3 images at a time as the process of replacing one often does the trick.

My second book is a SciFi adventure book called Alethia. Alamosa explored the concept of Justice, Alethia explores the concept of Truth. I am also working on the outline to the second Alamosa book called 'The Shadows' as I want to get back to that world and those characters. But I need a break from them to let the creative ideas queue back up to keep things interesting.

I traveled Colorado extensively for about a decade and when driving (there are a lot of 'between' spaces) I would imagine what happened in the landscape I was looking at.
I also wanted to explore the basic foundations of society given todays 'interesting' times. It is easier and more interesting to have well developed characters talk about it than me :-)
