Synopsis: A young man decides that he wants to be a U.S. Marine, and he does; however, now the stakes are high, and when the young Marine is shipped to Okinawa, Japan, he cannot fathom the realities of the unusually large Island. Marines or not, Everett Walker will learn a valuable lesson about life, perhaps, the hard way.

Autobiography: I am a Marine veteran, and I served on deployment in the Far East for over three years. Writing has always been a fascination, even at an early age. Being a Marine helped me to gain valuable insight into honing my craft and still serve my country in the process.
