It just dawned on me. Can't believe I almost forgot.
Eight years ago today I should have died. I went in for emergency surgery on my ruptured intestines. I was actually on a respirator for two day. So 07.23 is my second birthday.
It was the worst day and best day of my life. I have such a raw appreciation for life. One of the maxims in my next book, Wild Goose Chase, is live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Nothing like a near-death experience to change the way you live life.
Counting my blessings today!
Good to be alive!

Mark,
Hello There. I am an aspiring writer and am trying to get my books published. Can you recommend an agent or publisher that I can trust. My material is all spiritual based and dealing with spiritual warfare from a fictional stand point.
Thank You

Tough to know where to start, Mike.
I actually self-published my first book just to get a foot in the door. Not a bad starting place!
The publishing industry is all about relationships. Not sure if you know anyone on the inside, but that is always a good starting point...
My two cents,
Mark
Mark,
Totally understand. Mine was 30 years ago this last July 4th. Was in a coma for a number of days.
Have a view on life that can only come in the "bonus" round...
I always say that I'd love to have my kids experience that without going through what I went through and without putting me through what I put my parents through...
Just remembering that time helps me look past the "stuff" of the day.
Seems like I should read your new book.
