Slave To The Dream: Forever In Pursuit - 9781478787426

We seek meaning, purpose and love. I believe once you find yours, you must pay back and help others to find theirs. My book is about overcoming chaos through desperation and what some people call divine intervention. Know the journey is the beginning of any success. - Gaylan D Wright Hi Gaylan! First of all: Congratulations! I read your book the day after your book signing party. I knew before I even began reading, I would not want to put it down. True! I turned to the first page and didn't put it down until the last page. It was a riveting story. Thanks Gretchen. I joined the US Air Force and was in basic training when I turned 18. Basic training was a blast and I really enjoyed the teamwork. While there I learned my hometown was a violent place. Most people looked at me as if I had brought Chicago with me to basic. Basic was my first experience in pure competition. We competed against all of the other flights of troops for awards in every phase of training. Turns out it was the perfect way to start someone off. Once I graduated it wasn't long before I changed that idea of competition towards the United States enemies. I just knew I had to be better than any human counterpart in another country which had bad aims for my country. I carried that throughout my career: When I was supposed to be at work, I was there; When I was supposed to do my job, I could, When i was asked to work with no days off, I knew it would make me stronger and smarter; When I was asked to go forward alone, then maintain all equipment, contact headquarters with status updates daily, and do this for seven days while the rest of the team was getting prepared to arrive. Even though I was only 19, I revelled in the responsibility. I was not good when I wasn't at work but no one can ever say I failed them with any responsibility given to me by my superiors. When I was done, I joined the Wyoming Highway Patrol. This experience isn't in my current book but I could be convinced to write about it if "Slave to the Dream" has enough interest. The Highway Patrol was more cops and robbers and some really crazy stuff along the way. I retired from them after 18 years. I can't say in short now, but my book will appeal to readers who are interested in a story about overcoming chaos within desperation, achieving personal transformation and the wisdom gained from a life of trials and triumphs. I'm telling this story with the hope that more people will realize they can still make a human contribution regardless of what they did way back in the seventh grade. You really don't need a reason to help someone, now. Success is also in the pursuit. Gaylan
