Hi and thanks for stopping by. Allow me to introduce myself,
my name is Carolyn Hector. I am a wife and mother of two and currently I am anticipating
the arrival of four wonderful nephews to come live with me. Should my almost 19
year old daughter decide to move out (as do most young adults)… I will be the
only woman in the house of males.. wish me luck!
Growing family aside, I am also a daydreamer, writer, and a
what-if-er. I love to tell folks that I was born under a shroud of mystery and
because of the redacted birth certificate and adoption paperwork, I had no
choice but to grow up with a creative mind.
Daydream much? My Special
Tasks Bureau series stemmed from an article I read loooooooong ago about the
void of women in the Special Forces. Of course instead of taking offense
to the article, I merely assumed these women did not “exist” in the public eye
because they—like most hard working women/mothers—don’t do their jobs for the
glory but because the job needs to get done.
This of course got my
creative juices going. What if my birth father was in the Secret Forces and had
to leave my mother before she could tell him she was pregnant. Better yet! What
if they were BOTH in the Secret Forces and had to leave me behind to serve
their country. I thought of my birth mom as some kick-ass military woman.
I love the camaraderie of military men... but what about these women in their special unit groups?
Enter—the ladies of The Special Tasks Bureau. These series is about different aspects of kick-ass military women balancing their lives--and men--all while trying to save the world.
