    About this ebook

    My name is Shane Ballon and I am a veteran of the United States Army. I have served 5 years as I enlisted when I was 18. I did my tour in Iraq for 15 months back in 2005. Like many American's that serve their country I have suffered from PTSD. This disease has affected both sides of my life on the personal side with my family and on the buisness side for my work. Bad flashbacks rush into my head where I cannot control my thoughts and screams still lash out into the dead of the night. This book was written to help people who suffer from this to be able to cope a little easier. It is a guide for people who have never experienced it, but may have questions of a loved one who is serving and what they may be going through. This book is also a helpful tool for not only service members, but for the youth who may be going through a tough time with the pressures of being a youth. This book starts with my life growing up on the streets of New Orleans and the adversities my life entailed. Before reading I strongly recommend if you are easily offended by military, religion, polictics or just general life to stop now. I give the truth of what goes on in war and how veterans are treated. There is nothing that I sugar coat with the topics I go over as these are my opinions and experiences that I have been through and witnessed. I give you a first hand look at what the meaning of being cold-hearted is. Welcome to the mind of Patient 1903.

    Shane Ballon

    My name is Shane Ballon and I live in a small town in Colorado with my wife Julie and our four children. I run a local rental furniture store out here and attend the University of Phoenix full time as I am trying to recieve my degree in Buisness. I served a few years in the United States Army as a Cavalry Scout and got injured in Iraq back in 2005. I found writing to be a great outlet for the emotions that are inside of me. I am orginally from the New Orleans area in Louisiana. For being only twenty-seven I have alot on my plate that I am taking on. Running a full blown corprate buisness, going to college full time and just finishing three books has definatly kept me busy; not to include the family life when I am home. There will be plenty of books coming as I have many ideas and want to put them in print for people to enjoy and to understand me better. They are filled with both everyday life situations and dark fantasy worlds that I put myself in. This is the third book that will finish my suspence trilogy of, The Closest Stranger. These are my first few books that I have written and published and I feel the greatest thing I am proud of is its growth. I never expected it to turn into a trilogy when I wrote the first book. As I am publishing this one I am finishing up my fourth book which is my personal autobiography. It is called, Patient 1903/ Surviving PTSD. Thank you for the support in my new journey with writing.
