Happy birthday to Robert Brewer. He was shot in Holland and the wound was so serious that his men thought he wouldn’t survive. Al Mampre, one of the medics, was shot rescuing him. They both survived. After the war, he joined the OSS which later became the CIA. He served a great deal of his time there in various parts of Asia. Robert Brewer passed away in 1996 at the age of 72. Brandon Firla played him in an uncredited role

May 25: Happy birthday
Just before Eindhoven, Lieutenant Bob Brewer was shot through the neck. I ran out to where he lay in the field. He looked like death warmed over. I got some plasma out of my kit and got it into his vein, which had all but collapsed. [...]
Brewer was still alive. That’s when I took one just above my bootline. The bullet peeled the flesh off my leg all the way down to the bone. My lower leg looked like raw steak. A couple other guys came out to help, and they were hit, too. The bullet had cut the nerve, so I couldn’t straighten out my leg. I dumped some sulfa on it. Some Dutchmen ran out—boy, they were something else. [...]
Meanwhile, our guys got the sniper. We got ready to leave the house so we could evacuate Brewer. [...] eventually we got to an aid station. One of the first things I did when I got there was donate a pint of blood. I hadn’t lost much, relatively speaking, and they needed it desperately.

I finished my 8 pages for Robert Brewers' horror anthology "Branches". He's a clever chap and has written all the stories. I don't want to give away any surprises so here's some process snaps. The book is out on November.

So love led me to writing, and writing led me to love. But none of it would’ve been possible if I just kept it all bottled up or hidden away. As writers (even when we don’t know we’re writers), our main job is to write, but it’s also to share.
