I ran/walked my first 5K in 22 years! After my accident, the Marine Corps tried to act like I was back to 100%, so they had me doing my Fitness Tests. Before my accident, I ran 3 miles in 17 and a half minutes. Enough for a perfect 100 points. After my accident, I have balance issues and was unable to run it. I failed, because my max allotted time was 28 minutes, and I would come in about 30 or so. I stopped trying to run for a long time, so I decided as a New Year's resolution that I would participate in at least one race a month. My first one was the Liquidation 5K that they used to get rid of all the old awards and prizes from past races. It was held at the Douglas County firing range. In the middle of it was an obstacle course that the firefighters use. Racers were supposed to do one obstacle per lap(2), but I tried about 3 each time. Reminded me of my glory days in the Marines. I wonder if I can go and use the obstacle course some other time on my own! :D Anyway, I was proud that I didn't stop once. I walked, jogged, walked but I didn't stop. My time was55 minutes 35 seconds! I plan on lowering that time next time, and the next.<br />
<br />
Jean Joachim and my second book Dangerous Love Lost and Found is now out in paperback. I am extremely happy and blessed to have two books out and am always grateful for Jean's faith in me. Working with her has been great and I am so fortunate for her taking the chance on an unknown.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone else had a great New Year. Leave a comment and tell me about it.<br />

Mine was very eventful in a good way. We had Christmas Eve at grandma's with my aunts, uncles, cousins, niece, nephew, and the rest of my family. We have been so blessed as a family, lots of love and close relationships. Sunday, we had the immediate family over at my sister and her husband's house. That included a flight around Rome in my brother-in-law's plane.<br />

I got a fitbit charge from my lovely wife, which registers all my activity, both sleeping and awake. Now, I plan on getting serious about my fitness. One of my many New Years resolutions. I have them all written out and planned, including reading a book a week, getting more writing done, and seeing my family and friends more. What are some of your resolutions and how was your Christmas?<br /><br />Ben Tannerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094726097099509992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787721083844883432.post-30870367872878103542014-12-06T05:33:00.002-08:002014-12-06T05:33:57.395-08:00Wounded Warrior Bloghop 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well, it is that time of the year again. The Secret Cravings Authors Wounded Warrior Bloghop. All of us are donating money to the Wounded Warrior project. I am donating $1 for every comment, up to $100, but starting at $20. I wonder if we can get everyone to publish their favorite recipe they like to make during a holiday. I am including any holiday, so if you have a favorite Halloween or Valentine's Day recipe, share it.<br />
<br />
Also, please take time to visit the other bloggers who are participating in this blog hop.<br />

Here is the blurb for the second book. We are awaiting the book cover suggestions and as soon as we have it, I will let everyone know.<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span>With danger lurking around
any corner, Eden Wyatt, CIA covert operative, traveled solo. <span> </span>Hopping from one brief affair to the next, she’d
be damned if she’d get a guy killed for loving her. But a chance meeting with a
sexy, smart Major on New Year’s Eve rattled her resolve. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span>Hunted by assassins,
Eden had forgotten how to trust. Wary, ever on the alert, the stunning woman,
ready to kill or be killed, knew what she wanted. Would she dare break her own
rules for Major Tom Davis? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span>Barreling through her
defenses, Major Davis insisted on playing his own game. A man used to giving
orders, not taking them, refused to accept her terms. Would Eden put herself in
the hands of those who wanted her dead, for love? Or would she kiss happiness
goodbye and disappear back into her precarious life of running and hiding? </span></div>

I hope everyone is having a great time spending it with family and friends. I was busy with Easter Sunrise Service at church, Easter breakfast, performing in the second service, rushing to my dad's church for his service, taking him to the Olive Tree for lunch, and now home to relax for a few before Monday. Jean and I are moving along, albeit slowly, on Love Lost and Found 2, but be rest assured, it is coming! :D Enjoy your day today and I will post updates soon, after the craziness is gone.<br />

How time had flown. Last weekend(March 22), we went to Romfest in Knoxville for a conference and book signing.(www.romfest.com) It was an amazing time meeting our readers and chatting with the other authors. This past weekend was The Novel Experience in Atlanta.(http://thenovelexperienceevent.blogspot.com/p/faq.html) All day Saturday was spent signing autographs, working on book 2 of our series, and throwing kisses and making funny faces at Julie Morgan.(www.JulieMorganBooks.com)<br />

Ok, so I was throwing Reese's peanut butter cups and she was throwing Hershey's Kisses! :D<br />

Well, we have 4 days until Thanksgiving, 31 days until Christmas, and 37 days until the new year! Time is flying by. Right now though, I want to concentrate on Thanksgiving. <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thanksgiving is the time for remembering
all of the blessings we have in our life. What we are thankful for. I am
thankful for a lot of things. I am thankful for my house, my jobs, my co-author
convincing me to write books with her, my publisher taking a chance on an
unknown, my church, my health, and many, many more things. The two most
important things in my life though, besides my faith and music, are my family and
friends. I have the best family in the world, both regular and in-laws.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">People that know me know I am
always calling people to meet me for dinner, or lunch. The ones that understand
me know that, to me, these outings are all about the camaraderie. I could care
less about the food; I just like the time spend with them. In that retrospect,
people ask “Why don’t you just get together then and not meet to eat?” I have
found that dinner/lunch is an easy excuse to get together in our busy lives. A
visit at someone’s house can expand into hours, which is not a bad thing unless
you are busy. A meeting at a restaurant is a controlled time. You can take as
long as you want eating and socializing, or you can make it brief by eating
faster. It is a good excuse for the initial meeting, and if you both find
yourself with more time, then it can turn into an all day outing. An invitation
to one’s house, to the mall, a park, a movie, or anything else.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite movie quotes comes from a movie I love, Tequila Sunrise. "Friendship is the only choice in life you can make that's yours! You can't choose your family! Goddamn it, I've had to face that! No man should be judged for whatever direction his dick goes! That's like blaming a compass for pointing north, for Chrissake! Friendship is all we have. We chose each other." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I honestly believe that is true. You choose your friends. I have some of the best friends, some of whom I have known since 6th grade. I still try to make time to get together with them at least once every two weeks, if not every week. Also, I take the time to call them often. It takes work, but it is completely worth it.</div>

With all this being said, I want everyone to have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I hope you spend every minute possible with loved ones; family and friends. After Thanksgiving, Christmas will be a few short weeks away. In that time, I am hoping to get a lot of work done, including some on the second book in the Love Lost and Found series.(Jean, don't pull out the whip just yet! ;) )</div>

Halloween.</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> Well, Halloween is coming up in 9 days! As a creative person, I love to see what kind of costumes people come up with. I have seen some really cute ones, a young girl dressed as a princes or a young boy dressed as a cowboy(Sheriff Woody from Toy Story). It can be fun to see what the adults come up with. Many of us "adults" like to make our own costumes, especially us guys who don't plan :). So, my question is, if you are going to be home greeting trick-or-treaters, what do you plan on doing for a costume?</b></div>

Working three jobs is very tiring. I am realizing that I am not as young as I used to be. Of course, then again, who is? I don't even know where to start. Book 2 is coming along nicely with my coauthor, Jean Joachim. My trainer at the gym is whooping me. I am slowly losing weight, unfortunately, working as much as I do, I can't workout as much as I would like to.<br />
<br />
Those who know me, know my friends are very important to me. I try to call them as often as possible; which unfortunately, lately hasn't been as often as I would like. I did talk to a great friend today. I used to talk to him everyday, but with marriage, two kids on his part, and work, I call him about once every two or three weeks. I am trying to get in the habit of calling him at least once a week though. I also hung out with another old friend. We went to REI and looked around at more gear for the AT hike. Luch was at Twin Peaks in Buckhead, which is a really good restaurant.<br />
<br />
The AT thru-hike is probably going to become an AT section hike, as my wife says she can't handle me being gone that long. Either way, thru-hike or section-hike, it will be an accomplishment.<br />
<br />
Contact me and let me know how you are doing.Ben Tannerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094726097099509992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787721083844883432.post-31596509392041732242013-09-07T15:21:00.001-07:002013-09-07T15:21:06.692-07:00Catch up I hope everyone has had a great week/month since I posted last. Things have been hectic here. Job 1 is going well, staying busy, albeit slow in this economy. Orders come in every day, although not as many as our bosses would like. Job 2 is likewise picking up. I am averaging 12 hours a week in the two nights I work there. <br />
My coauthor and I are writing book 2. It is going well, and should be a great book. We are both really proud of our first one, nad everyone who has read it has enjoyed it.<br />
I have been busy, cleaning, switching services from Comcast to AT&T. It will save us about $70/month! The Appalachian Trail thru-hike with my high-school buddy has been put on hold. Finances are what kept us from being on it now, but my wife has reservations about me boing gone that long. She wants me to section-hike it two weeks at a time every year. We were really hoping to thru-hike, but we will see.<br />
Star Trek: Into Darkness comes out Tuesday. I really like the revamping of the series J.J Abrams has done. I think the casting is amazing, especially Karl Urban as Bones. If you listen to his voice, he sounds just like DeForest Kelley.<br />
Anyway, I hope my readers are enjoying their weeks.<br />

Last weekend, my lovely wife and I drove, after work, to North Carolina to see her family. We arrived late(about 1130), unpacked and went to bed. We woke up about 530 to get ready and drive to Gatlinburg Tennessee for a book signing. We arrived about 8 or so in the morning. While standing in the lobby, four women walked past us. Familiarity of a couple of them caused me to look. After they had walked upstairs, my memory kicked in and I yelled, "JEAN!" She stopped, turned, saw me, and yelled "BEN!" and proceeded to come back toward me! For the first time, my coauthor and I saw each other in person! After formalities, which included being introduced to my two publishers, Sandy and Rebekka, we went to the book signing area. It was a great time. We laughed, joked, the women all had eye candy, Scott-a cover model. We sold and signed every book we took, and signed a bunch of promo cards to give out. It was a good day. In the end, we drive back to North Carolina to spend the evening, night, and most of the next day with family.<br />

Busy time of the year with family and friends. Trying to get book 2 in our Love Lost and Found series written. Many of the authors are donating $30 for 30 comments with all of the proceeds going to The Wounded Warrior Project, which is an excellent organization that helps our military men and women coming back with the scars of war. Please find all who are doing it, and comment. I will do the same thing, if I can figure out how this blog thing works! :-)Ben Tannerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03094726097099509992noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2787721083844883432.post-12444719655784771272012-08-18T06:36:00.001-07:002012-08-18T06:36:22.407-07:00Well, this is it. My co-author has been on me about getting a blog going to try to sell some books, so here is my first foray into the world of blogging! Jean and I have cowritten a book, Love Lost and Found. It is a military romance with something for everyone<br />
