ABOUT

 

Dead Reckoning Collective is a veteran owned and operated publishing company. Our mission encourages literacy as a component of a positive lifestyle. Although DRC only publishes the written work of military veterans, the intention of closing the divide between civilians and veterans is held in the highest regard. By sharing these stories it is our hope that we can help to clarify how veterans should be viewed by the public and how veterans should view themselves.

AUTHORS

Leo Jenkins seldom writes in the third person, when he does it's for an author bio, when he doesn't it's for Lest We Forget, On Assimilation, First Train Out of Denver, With a Pen, and war{n}pieces.

Leo Jenkins tells people he is 5'11" when it's clear to see he's an even 6. He lies about other things too, like his modesty and position as the preeminent author of the GWOT generation.

Leo Jenkins can do this all night.

Leo Jenkins is currently living and spinning 1532 kilometers per hour with his best gal and daughter. He is happy, and so am I.
