Cheryl, In our paper for the Journal Topics in Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation, we asserted that many young adults who had cervical level injury that led to paralysis, suffered significant TBI as well. Their loss of executive skills, etc. was previously written off as depression. In the war zone, some of those IEDs are 500 pound bombs (or greater). Unquestionably, you will have traumatic brain injury of some degree. It will be a long lasting effect of the war. I look forward to reading your memoir.

Raymond -
Welcome to Crowdvine! The best book I've ever read on agents and pitching your proposal is titled: Putting Your Passion into Print by Arielle Eckstudt - an agent with a NY Agency...
Terrific info that I haven't found elsewhere in such depth. Besides, it's a great, funny read!

Andy - I was interested in hearing about your background regarding brain injury - one of the top injuries coming out of Iraq these days!
My sister was a pedestrian, hit by a car, and suffered a TBI which left her blind, etc.
During my master's at KSU I worked on a memoir, but it's still not ready for publication. But, it's an interesting, interesting topic.
