Michael
A. Corcoran had written a book in the 1980's, “Rick Drew Freedom
Fighter”. The fictional novel was based on his real life
experiences during his three tours of duty in Vietnam. Michael
attempted to have the book published but at the time no one wanted to
publish books about Vietnam. Michael passed away in 1994 and the book
lay on his wifes shelf until this past spring. Adam his son and the
CEO and Founder of the Michael A Corcoran Cancer Research and Scholarship Fund, wanted to make his fathers dream of
having the book published come true. He took the book to the editor
and publisher of the Green
Living Journal,
Stephen Morris. Adam told him about his organization and his fathers
dream and Stephen agreed to have the book edited and published. The
book didn't have a cover yet, but Adam had a sketch. He brought the
sketch to his friend Blair Shedd. Blair Shedd is a freelance
illustrator and the founder of oneGemini
Studios
and asked him if he could work up the cover. Blair agreed. Blair
Shedd is currently the illustrator for the Dr. Who comic book.
