Even In My Dreams

by hadleygirl

Even in her dreams, Shady Powell Christmas can't get away from the Expendables or her relationship with Lee Christmas. Succeed or die trying is the motto even asleep. Next of the "In the Jungle" series.

1. Introduction

NOTE FROM THE WRITER:

I don't normally do this but I thought, Good Reader, you should know a few things about the adventure you're about to take.

I love history. The Civil War and World War II are my favorite periods. The last story started out as something totally different but I knew Shady needed one last mission before she retired to full-time wife and mother. Because of that, Pregnant in Combat Boots, was the result.

I knew the next story was going to be a historical fiction piece. I initially shied away from World War II because of another of my stories, Homecoming, but as I researched how to make it work, the pieces came together. The story played out and fit so well, it was actually scary. It's one of the longest stories I have ever written. But, the chapter breaks also just fell into place.

The idea truly came from the old TV series, Black Sheep Squadron, with Robert Conrad, James Whitmore, Jr., Dirk Blocker and John Larroquette, to name a few. And, I hate to admit this, but I really do have an autographed picture from Robert Conrad from this show. In fact, in one of the chapters, there is an homage to the program. Brownie points to the person who spots it!

So, I hope you will enjoy this tale. If you like the historical piece, let me know. I actually have another that would fit. If you still enjoy Shady and Lee's adventures together with the Expendables, I would love to know that, too. I have an idea for possibly two more works that would end their story cycle.

Thank you all for your reviews, your encouragement and for taking the time to read my stories. It's such a privilege. Please enjoy Even in My Dreams.
