    Staff Sergeant Corey Yarwood is an instructor
    at the Basic Reconnaissance Course. His last deployment ended in horror, but he
    can’t remember those events. Battling severe PTSD, Corey’s drinking is growing out
    of control.
    Sean Chandler walks into a dive bar, and
    into Corey’s life. An actor and a musician, Sean has the empathy and compassion
    to sooth Corey’s pain, and the strength to support him as he struggles to heal.
    Corey’s lost memories are pivotal to a civilian
    murder, and a military investigation. Remembering could mean salvation, or destruction.
    Will the truth be too much for Sean to handle?

    Interview with Sean Chandler

    Tell us about yourself.
    Well, okay. My name is Sean Chandler. I’m thirty years old. I’m
    an actor, a singer, and a song writer. I graduated from USC as a musical theater
    major. I’ve had several roles on Broadway as part of ensemble casts. Recently, I’ve
    been getting some high profile supporting roles in movies. Mostly, though, I’ve
    had a lot of guest roles on popular and genre television shows, and I voice a lead
    character in a very successful animated film franchise. Most of my success has been
    in acting, so far, but I would really like to work in music a little more.
    Tell us about Corey.
    Corey. Oh, excuse me. That would be Staff Sergeant Corey Yarwood,
    USMC Force Recon. He’s a big, blond, blue-eyed, tattooed Marine. He’s so strong
    and so capable, he doesn’t feel the need to prove any of it. He’s really sexy, and
    really funny, and has no idea. He’s also the strongest person, emotionally, I’ve
    ever met, but he doesn’t know that about himself, either. He puts up with my crazy
    job and my unpredictable hours, like it’s nothing.
    Fire for Effect 
    What do you think is your strongest point?
    My creativity or my sensitivity. They’re probably intertwined.
    What would Corey say is your strongest point?
    My patience. He thinks I’m more patient than I really am, though.
    For some reason, he thinks it’s a burden to talk to him about the things going on
    in his life and his career. But it’s not. He’s interesting and enjoyable to be around,
    so no patience is involved. He just refuses to believe me.
    What do you wish was different about your life?
    I love my job and I wouldn’t want to do anything else. But it
    requires a lot more travel than I wish it did. If there was anything about my life
    I wish was different, it would be that I didn’t have to travel quite as much. Corey’s
    job doesn’t let him travel with me very much, and it even takes him away for days
    or weeks at a time. I guess it’s not the travel that I’d change, it’s the being
    away from Corey so much. I don’t want to think about him getting deployed again.
    If you were given your fondest wish, what would it be?
    I’ve already been given my fondest wish.

    About the Author

    Kendall McKenna’s first work of fiction was written at the worldly
    age of nine, and was a transformative work that expanded on the story told in a
    popular song of the time.
    She tried her hand at vampire and cowboy fiction, winning high
    school poetry and short story contests along the way. It wasn’t until she discovered
    the world of m/m erotic fiction and found
    her stride with cops, Marines and muscle cars,
    that she felt inspired to share her stories with readers who enjoy the same things.
    Putting herself through college by working in a newly-created
    HIV testing clinic in her local Department of Health, introduced Kendall to the gay and lesbian community. Understanding and
    empathy has made her a lifetime advocate of GLBT issues.
    A brief bout of unemployment gave Kendall
    the time and focus she needed to finally produce a novel worth submitting for publication.
    Her first novel, Brothers In Arms, introduced the world to her authentic
    military stories and characters.

    Kendall
    was born and raised in Southern California, where
    she still lives and works. A non-conventional relationship has kept her happy for
    the last decade. Her four dogs enjoy it when she writes, as she sits still long
    enough for them to curl up around her.
