Happy Birthday to Dylan O’Brien who was 100 percent the inspiration for Henry in Nothing But Sky! . . . #nothingbutsky #dylanobrien #henrypatton #characterinspiration #fancasting #totalinspiration #yabooks #yareads #yahistoricalreads #yahistoricalbooks #summertbr #loveinterestinspiration #yawriterlife #yawriter #yaromance #writersofig #igauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/CTDPVz8hTiX/?utm_medium=tumblr

On this Veteran’s Day, I want to say thank you to both active and retired service men and women. We may not say this enough, but a very grateful nation thanks you for keeping us safe at home. . One of the biggest challenges for me in writing NOTHING BUT SKY was honoring and respecting those who served. I spent hours researching WWI. The battles. The living conditions. The shell shock that followed (that was the earliest name given to PTSD). When I wrote Henry’s story, I wanted to get every detail right and correctly capture the pain and fear he felt after the war. I wrote him with careful care and respect that I hope everyone will give to veterans who are struggling. . Again, I want to say to all veterans, many thanks from a grateful nation for your service. . . . . #nothingbutsky #HenryPatton #WWI #WWIVet #yahistorical #yahistoricalfiction #yahistoricalread #yahistoricalbook @fluxbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdnni7AJAS/?igshid=4hfd0yjgpd5p
