In the beginning...

Welcome to a step into the twenty-first century by a
twentieth- century baby-boomer,
I guess we should begin by explaining the strange title.  No, for those of you with  dirty mind, that's not what it means!
Many years ago, while I was serving in the Army as a Special Forces operator, I was part of a project called Trojan Warrior.  Because of the subjects studied- biofeedback, meditation, mind control and the like, we nick-named it Jedi Knight.

Years later, I joined a men's organization called the Knights of Columbus, attaining the rank of Third Degree Knight. 
So,Twice a Knight.
I established this blog in order to become more well known as a writer, teacher and mentor- in other words, to let you know what I offer.

We'll be discussing several topics, as we move along. In addition to being a master instructor in the Martial Arts- called a Shihan, I am also a writer. Let's talk about that for a minute.

My first book Chronicles of a Blessed Man is now in Second Edition and can be found at https://www.amazon.com/Chronicles-Blessed-Man-Paul-Haber-ebook/dp/B07J9PK45T/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1557633559&sr=8-2. It is the story of my near-death experience (ok, technically,  I did die, but was revived), but mostly, it's the story of the people who were there for me when I needed hem the most.

The second book, God's Not Done With Me Yet,  is the full autobiography that my family encouraged me to write.  What's the big deal?  Well, among other things, I have counted seventeen time I should have- not could have died. If I do say so myself, (and my family agrees) it is a miracle I have survived all the dumb stuff I've done.  I think you'll like the story. It should be out in a few months.

In the works?  A murder mystery, tentatively called Died Too Young set in a city I know rather well, Vancouver, Washington.  If you're from that area, you'll recognize the places  and maybe some of the people, but rest assured, it is a fiction.

There are more in the process, but more about that in a later blog.

I hope you'll join me again, I look forward to it and I would invite you to send in your comments.  You might even get mentioned in a book!
