Greetings,
I am reaching out to share the story of my near-fatal accident, which I have documented in my memoir, Life Flight, which is now available on Amazon. The link is placed below. During my hospitalization, my hemoglobin dropped to 2.4, and I was in a coma for months, with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8. My total hospitalization lasted approximately one year. Survival at that level is extremely rare, and recovery was long and uncertain.

I want readers to know that despite life's shortcomings you can shine. I grew up in a very bad household, but I never quit trying. The message in all my books is to never quit. Most of my books are real life people who struggled to exist. I have one fiction called Albion. It is made up of 8 chapters, each a different story.

Later, after being pushed out by political and corporate interests, they returned through an alliance as improbable as it was strategic—with the former agent of Ronald Reagan, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marlon Brando.
