  Soldier at the Door

  By Trish Mercer

  Copyright © 2014 Patricia Strebel Mercer

  All characters in this book are fictitious, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and utterly awesome.

  Cover design and photography by Jarek Mercer’s mom, who told him to arch his eyebrow like Spock, look a bit menacing/mischievous, and turn his brown eyes blue. She ended up doing that herself on gimp, as well as using a stock photo purchased from dreamstime.com for the awesome doors.
