Below is an interview that I conducted with author J. R. Handley. I met J. R. here on WordPress and read about him on his website. It was after reading about him and his journey that I knew he was someone I wanted to talk to. You can find his blog here. J. R. Primarily writes military fiction.

What genre do you typically write? What drew you to that genre?

I write in the broader science fiction world, with a heavy leaning towards military science fiction.  And I’ve always loved science fiction and fantasy, but I found that science fiction was easier to write with my brain injury because I could use what I already knew. Plus, I read Star Wars novels as a kid and dreamed of being a Storm Trooper.  I like the idea of a future where anything is possible for those who work hard enough…

51X3LhVUF4L._SY346_Spoiler Free Summary: No Marine Left Behind is a short story featuring Sashala Kraevoi. Author J.R. Handley gives us a deeper glimpse into one of the characters in the series. Sashala starts out leading a normal mission, but when one of her Marines ends up alone and surrounded by aliens and steeped in hopeless odds, Sashala charges to the rescue. Survival is mandatory. Escape is the goal.

Character:  Sashala is a strong character (I mean that literally, she’s physically strong), which is nice. Having served with some amazing Marines (both man and woman), I like seeing a woman take the lead now and then. For a story this short, there wasn’t a lot of room for development, but you still get to see how determined she is.  That determination is her best asset.

Exposition: I’ll admit Andrew get’s a little heavy handed here, but there’s a purpose to this. His…
