I can\u2019t wait to graduate and pursue the career I\u2019ve wanted since I can remember. I always wanted to be a soldier, but because my mom wouldn\u2019t let me enlist with my friends, I applied to the military academy. One way or the other, I was going to be a soldier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you a people person or a lone wolf?<\/strong><br \/>\nI always thought of myself as a people person until my first year at the academy. The competition is stiff and the attrition rate high. I worked hard to stay in and did better than I expected, but I can\u2019t let up for a minute. These guys and gals are used to being the best and will do whatever it takes to win. Not everyone can be a winner, but I\u2019ve done all right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your greatest enemy and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI never thought I had an enemy, but one crept up on me. The first time I discovered this enemy was when I was training for a marathon. It was minor at first, and I ignored it. When training at the academy, you get used to pain. But then the pain increased and wouldn\u2019t go away. Now what do I do? If I have it checked at the campus clinic, my visit will be reported to administration. The academy doesn\u2019t have room for imperfection. If they think I\u2019m imperfect, there goes a lifetime goal. I\u2019ve seen it happen to others. It won\u2019t happen to me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your closest friend?<\/strong><br \/>\nEd Reick has been my friend since day one at the academy. Ed will make a good soldier, but when it comes to women \u2026 let\u2019s just say he\u2019d rather meet marauding terrorists than talk to a girl. The girls don\u2019t notice Ed until they discover who is family is, then they form a line to get to know him better. It\u2019s enough to confuse the poor guy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your love interest?<\/strong><br \/>\nWho has time for a love interest? I thought I didn\u2019t, until one night at Charleston\u2019s trendy nightclub, I saw Willow Dockery, a barmaid with more sass than my sister\u2019s Arabian stallion. When some guy harassed her, I told him to leave her alone. The flash in her eyes made me want to know her better. It\u2019s short term. I\u2019ll be leaving soon. I\u2019ll never see Willow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laura Haley-McNeil Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Laura Haley-McNeil is an award-winning author of romantic suspense and women\u2019s fiction in novel length and in short stories.
