Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War

Mind of a Soldier:

34 Laws for the War After the War

The system built you for war. Nobody built you for this.

You did everything right. You served. You sacrificed. You came home. And now you are sitting in a VA waiting room with a number, filling out the same form for the fourth time, being told that the approved treatment is available in seventeen days — while the thing you came in for does not pause for the appointment.

Mind of a Soldier is not a self-help book. It is not a memoir. It is a field manual — written by a retired Special Operations EOD Sergeant Major who was the first Black Tier One EOD operator in U.S. history a — for the war that nobody briefs you on before you take off the uniform.

The 34 laws in this book document what the system does not tell you:

Why the PTSD diagnosis was built for a single traumatic event — and what it misses about a career warfighter
Why the treatment fails 91% of the people it was designed to serve
Why the civilian world's version of you is either a hero or a monster, and why neither one is you
Why your nervous system, your sleep, your body, and your identity are not broken — they are miscalibrated for an environment that no longer exists
Why "Thank you for your service" ends the conversation it pretends to start
Why the most dangerous thing you will ever do is not the mission — it is the silence after it

This book does not ask you to be vulnerable the way a therapist does. It tells you the truth. It names the system failures with data, the identity fractures with precision, and the path forward with the same directness that kept people alive downrange.

It was written for the veteran who is performing wellness in the waiting room. For the spouse who cannot explain why the person they love is unreachable. For the civilian who wants to understand but does not know where to start. And for the policy maker who needs to see the gap between what the country promises and what it actually delivers — measured in the people who fell through it.

The author is not writing from the other side of a clean recovery arc. He is in the valley. Still figuring it out. Every day. The same way you are.

The war does not end when the uniform comes off. It changes AO.

This is the field manual for the next one.

Peak Season

Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W) 480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods. Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine. The girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!” We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder and more. In varying degrees thi...

The Revenant's Mark

The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit, The Revenant’s Mark blends dark...
