About the Book

21 Guns Bid me Goodbye was written with great emotional difficulty. This is not to say it was not a pleasure to write. Confusing, I know. You had to be there. Be glad you were not. One day we are the person we have created ourselves to become, the next day our life long creation becomes an ancient ruin. Why plan? We have little to no control over fate, and the fate of others can directly impact our own destiny. The unexpected. The unplanned. Through the painful experience of losing my son to suicide, I have developed a deep inner understanding of what the world demands, versus what we should demand of ourselves. I expect little of myself. I don't seek great things. I seek myself in my truest and natural form. The search continues. I have learned to locate humor in the very things I at one time found frightening while I fear certain things I at one time found funny. The Book: Life altering events sometimes present themselves in the form of tragedy. Samuel McRoberts, settling into his golden years, is a man residing within the confines of his once sound mind. At 62, his past is his present. The future is of little significance. Dashed with humor and inspiration, 21 Guns Bid me Goodbye is the story of Samuel's life leading up to the events causing his mind to exit stage right. From his early days as a kid in Florida, to his tour in Viet Nam, to his life as a songwriter in Nashville, his life was anything outside of ordinary or mundane. Based on real life events. Excerpt: I was labeled a "daydreamer" in elementary school. It was the cause of immense concern and the prevalent topic at endless parent/teacher conferences. The long term damages associated with "staring into space," were as yet unknown. My fate hung in the balance. "Won't know 'til he's grow'd up I reckon." I used my disability to my every advantage. "Sorry Mom. Didn't hear 'ya. I was havin' one a them daydreams." This still works for me today. Ask my wife.
About the Author: Gary Hays lives in Florida with his with Kim. As both a former military brat and military veteran, he has traveled a great deal of the world. As a musician he has spent many nights in smoke filled dimly lit lounges amid the drunken masses. His ability to find humor in diversity, is uncanny. The tragic loss of his war veteran son to suicide has been the source of reflection, pain, inspiration and a deeper understanding of life and all it entails. Though his writings are largely based on real life experiences, they are often embellished with quirkiness and approached in a unique way.
