Further Insight on Korea

I recently met a new friend. His name is Jimmy Watkins and he stationed with the Army over in South Korea during the “Korean Conflict” (aka Korean War) of 1950-1953. Jimmy shared with me some fascinating stories and literature from that place and time. Jimmy was generous enough to grant me permission to convey his personal experiences in Book 3 of my Extra Innings Trilogy as one of the main characters joins the USAF and is shipped off to Korea for the first third of the book. Thank you Jimmy for this brief window into your life’s exciting history.
