Following Friday (11)


Q: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran’s Day tell us about your favorite solider and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.

My real life choice would be my big brother, Terry! He's served in the US Navy for as long as I can remember (18 years?) and apart from being a genius, he's an excellent leader.

In the world of fiction, I'd have to go with all the guys and gals from Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters books. Such an incredibly loyal group of people who absolutely manage to kick ass at every turn.

Welcome, new and old followers! Don't forget to comment so that I know to visit you back! Also, please take a second to participate in my weekly poll--Your favorite super power--on the right side of your screen. Thanks a bunch, and Happy Reading!
