Break My Fall
by Jessica Scott

Violence.

I’m addicted to it.

It’s how I feel alive.

It’s the only thing that's real any more.

And now I have to sit around and discuss it like it's
physics or calculus. I can’t do it. I can’t
pretend that it’s some sterile academic topic.

Violence isn’t sterile. It isn’t calm. It's
pulsing. It’s alive.

It’s my drug.

Until I met Abby, I never wanted anything beyond the next
fight. Never considered that I might finally find a way back
to the land of the living. Now? Now I find myself dreaming
of a woman with golden eyes.

But I can never be with her. Because I am not whole. And I
never will be again.

But I cannot stay away.

And loving her might finally be what breaks me.

Jessica Scott's Bio

Jessica Scott is a career army officer, mother of two daughters, three cats and three dogs, wife to a career NCO and wrangler of all things stuffed and fluffy. She is a terrible cook and even worse housekeeper, but she’s a pretty good shot with her assigned weapon and someone liked some of the stuff she wrote. Somehow, her children are pretty well adjusted and her husband still loves her, despite burned water and a messy house.

The Soldier

I’m a career soldier, with 16 years in the Army and I love everything about Army life. I joined right out of high school and was promptly shipped off to Germany where I met my husband. I went from Sergeant First Class (E7) to Second Lieutenant (01E) in 2007.

Now, I’m a company commander in charge of 130 soldiers, a mom with two young kids who never sit still, and an Army wife, whose husband is back in Iraq.

The Author

Until a few years ago, I had no idea hard writing really was. I’d always written and started several projects over the years, burning out after a few dozen pages. After the War was the first novel I ever finished and it will always hold a special place in my heart because of that, even if it now remains under my bed. Blogging from Iraq landed me a spot on PBS Point of View, tackling tough issues involving women and war. Its an experience I’ll never forget.

After the War was followed by multiple novels, all pulled from my experiences as an soldier who has lived through both being deployed and being the spouse left at home with the kids. Most of those books will never see daylight.
