Lynda and I are excited to finally be able to share some of our first book, Guam Adventures - Mystery of the Cave. After tossing around ideas for a book about our childhoods, Lynda and I landed on the idea of writing about Guam. We were very young when we lived there and were blessed to have had the opportunity to experience the island, the people and the culture. There are many things about the island we have forgotten and some that we have vague memories of. They say as you get older you can't remember what happened yesterday, but the memories of your youth become clearer. I can't say that is entirely true,(maybe we aren't old enough, yet) but the essence of the island is part of us. We would have loved to fly over there to refresh those memories, but that wasn't very practical. Instead, we dug up some of Mom and Dad's old slides and spent hour upon hour online doing research. It has been a privilege to dig into the history of Guam and those who call it home.
Although our story takes place in the early 1960s, we have incorporated some very interesting details about World War II. I know, World War II took place eons ago, but the war had ended only 15 years before we landed on the island, and we wanted to stay in that era for our story.
In the days and weeks to come we will introduce you to JoEllyn and Susan Wilks, two sisters who lived on Andersen Air Force Base with their parents, Bill and Joanne Wilks and their little sister, Graci.
Stayed tuned for excerpts from our story, life in general, and share with us the adventure and challenges of writing a book and getting it published.
Blessings to you all,
Terry
