Greetings,
My last blog mentioned I'd be exploring books I've read and point out what I considered unnecessary fluff or filler and see if you agreed with me. But, since Memorial Day, a Federal holiday in the U.S., is fast approaching, I felt it's only fitting that we honor deceased writers who served in the military. I'm sure you'll recognize many of the authors listed and their works. If you've never had a chance to read any works by these authors, it's not too late to check them out. Great reference material too if you need to write about a specific era.
