Jumpin Jack Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted February 7, 2019 Thank you all for your most kind comments. I believe you know that my books are a labor of love. This series in particular exemplifies this as I loved jumping, and to become a paratrooper was a boyhood dream during the war. One bit of motivation for this series was an admonishment from a fellow Forum member that stated, "What can he do that hasn't already been done?" I love a challenge.
