About Griffins Rugby and the One to Fifteen Foundation

Griffins Rugby is a Rugby Club that values the commitment and sacrifices of our Armed Forces Personnel and Veterans. The transition back from the combat zone to everyday life can prove to be a challenge, with issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) a major concern. Griffin's Rugby Club is a program that develops squads of veterans that play competitive matches, giving our former soldiers an environment where they can experience all of the benefits of sports - a sense of connection and purpose, a place to relieve stress through physical and mental exercise, and a place to simply have fun - without bearing the burden of additional cost. Participating in rugby requires discipline, hard work, structure and teamwork - not so different from military training. Your team becomes your family.

               

 

Words from a Soldier's Heart ...

When I first walked on to the pitch that hot afternoon in July, I quickly found that rugby is not for the faint of heart and certainly not for the weak willed. Like the Marine Corps, rugby holds its foundation in discipline, sweat, and above all team work. Despite being sorely out matched, as my conditioning was not up to par, I was hooked. I loved the feel of breaking through my physical limits, I loved looking to my left and to my right, seeing men that would risk life and limb for me. I loved having them look at me and know the same. Rugby has been the greatest gift I ever received, and with that in mind I hope to spread the word about its wonders to all. While any man, woman, or child can reap the benefits of rugby there is a special group who could use it more than other; our veterans. The similarities between rugby and the military are countless in number, but above all it serves as life purpose for those who fancy themselves tough enough. Before I played rugby, I was a portly drunkard, with nothing in mind but my own selfish desires. Now I rest and rise under the blanket of support provided by my team. I lift and run every day, not just to better myself but to better my team. After my discharge I thought the days of brute physicality, and loving camaraderie were long gone. But by freak random occurrence I found myself on the pitch that fateful afternoon in July, not knowing how much I would affect me. Not long after I started playing the team’s founder came to me with a plan; to offer rugby to veterans. I was shocked, this Englishman who had never spent a day I uniform had seen all the similarities between rugby and the military, he had a deep appreciation for our veterans, and wanted to help them as much as I did. He proposed the One to Fifteen Program, a program that would allow veterans to play rugby cost free, while also assisting them with crucial employment networking, and above all giving them a team to fight for again. When mentioned that the program should also be named in memorial, my heart dropped. Naming the One to Fifteen Program after my close friend who was killed in Afghanistan, Adam Peak was the greatest honor I could think to ensure his legacy lived on. Like all those who wear the Griffins Badge on their chest, Adam Peak was neither weak willed nor faint of heart. I know in my heart of hearts he is smiling down from heaven, supremely content that even in death his spirit continues to live on and continues to support his brothers. Griffins Rugby is a very special squad, we’re more like a family, and with the inception of the One to Fifteen Adam Peak Rugby Foundation our family will continue to grow and fill its ranks with our countries greatest.     ~ John Wangler

From Inked on Paper Jake One week later, Saturday night By the time seven o’clock rolled around, I was going stir crazy. My total word count for the entire week was a big fat fucking zero. And like I’d assured Liz when I talked to her on Wednesday, I had tried. Really. Okay, mostly. After I’d spent two hours at the coffee shop that morning and managed to research everything from tattoos to tater tots—on my phone, because, fuck, what the hell else was I going to do?—I’d come back to my condo, changed, gone to the gym, watched the midday news, showered, and fought the urge to clean more shit around the house that had no business being cleaned. Not by me, at least. Same shit I’d done almost every day this week. And last week, now that I thought about it. Now that the sun was down and the night was coming to life, I needed to get out of the building. To do something productive that didn’t involve staring at a blank screen or a blank page and wondering whether or not I would ever be able to write anything again. So, that was the plan. A night out. I had moved to downtown Austin for the scenery. I’d lived in the area most of my life— with the exception of the five years I’d spent in New York—having grown up twenty-something miles north in the city of Round Rock. The suburban life had worked well for my mom and stepdads (all nine of them)—still did—but I needed something a little more … lively. My sister, Paige, thought I was having a midlife crisis. At thirty-six, I seriously doubted that. I was reserving that for when I turned forty. As I was riding the elevator down to the lobby, my cell phone rang. After digging it out of my pocket, I glanced at the screen and sighed. Liz. Great. It was eight o’clock in New York—on a Saturday, no less—where she lived and worked, so I knew this wasn’t going to be a hi, how are you? conversation. I answered anyway. “Jacob Wild, where the hell are you?” Her raspy, take-no-shit tone made me smile. “Elevator, why?” I asked, pretending I didn’t know what she meant. “Where have you been?” “Before I got in the elevator? Well, if you have to know, I was walking down the hall.” My editor growled. Actually growled. And it wasn’t one of those sexy purring things that some women did. This was an all-out Gremlin sort of sound that made me want to laugh. I refrained. Barely. “You should be at your desk.” “Why?” I stepped off the elevator into the lobby. “Nothing going on there at the moment.” My comment was met with silence, and I could picture Liz standing in the middle of her Manhattan apartment, hand fisted in her short blonde hair as she stared at the phone in disbelief. Truth was, I liked Liz. She was one of the top editors in the publishing industry, and she always played me straight. After I had self-published my first book and it had done surprisingly well, and after my agent had landed me my first seven-figure, three-book deal, I had been working with Liz directly. I’d liked her so much, and my books had done so well with her help that I’d even signed another contract, for another three books—with, get this, an eight-figure advance. Which, I knew, was the reason she was calling. That was a lot of money to invest in someone, and the first book was due to her in roughly thirty days, and she’d come to expect me to be ahead of the game, as I’d frequently turned in my first draft manuscript way early. It probably hadn’t helped that I’d asked for an extension this go-round—a three-month extension. “Where’s my book?” she demanded. “I was looking forward to spending the weekend reading your stuff, enjoying a bottle of wine, and now I have no choice but to go to that stupid gala.” I barked a laugh. I couldn’t remember what it was she was doing, but I recalled her mentioning it had something to do with her husband’s public relations firm. From what Liz told me, she did not enjoy getting dressed up and going out. But I’d known her long enough that I recognized the lie for what it was. She did enjoy it; she simply didn’t want anyone to know she did. “I’ve still got a month,” I told her as I stepped out of the building, the cold wind slamming into me. There was a brief pause before she said, “Tell me when I can schedule an interview. Your fans want to know what the hell happened to you.” “You know I don’t do interviews,” I told her. That had been a point of contention between us from the beginning. I’d been called reclusive and mysterious, but the truth was, I didn’t like being in the public eye. I just wanted to write. “You’re going to have to give in sometime,” she said. “Seriously. The media fucking loves you. They want to see your face.” “Liz, shouldn’t you be getting ready for your thing?” I asked, purposely changing the subject. Liz huffed. “What’s the book about? At least tell me that much.” I should’ve known she wouldn’t let it go. I sighed. “I will, just as soon as I know.” More silence before she said, “Jacob.” Her tone was admonishing and I understood her pain. “I’m looking for my muse,” I assured her. “Your muse? What the hell are you talking about? We agreed—” Before she could go off on a tangent—something Liz was really good at—I interrupted her. “Don’t worry. I haven’t let you down yet, have I?” Another growl. This time I did laugh. “Fine. But next time I call you, you better answer the damn phone.” “I did answer the phone.” Just not the first twenty-two times she’d called since yesterday morning. “Talk to you later, Liz.” Inked on Paper by Nicole Edwards My rating: 5 of 5 stars What a tantalizing read... Inked on Paper was an unexpected treat. I knew it was going to be good but it surpassed all my expectations. Nicole Edwards is amazingly talented. This is a story within a story and it will keep you turning the pages.  Jacob Wild is a well known author who has found himself in a slump. He is suffering from writers block, with a deadline just around the corner.  Presley Abrams Uniquely beautiful, talented tattoo artist, and ink model who is going through a bit of a creativity block herself. While both are in search for their muse, could they possibly find happily ever after ? Inked on Paper is a standalone, but I could definitely go for more of ALL the character in this story.  Christy Radical Reads Book Blog

Blog / Review Tour - Progress by Amalie Silver @AmalieSilver

Jesse I admit, I didn’t think much of Charlie at first. She was rounder than the girls who usually caught my eye. Not my type. But when I saw her sitting in that booth alone, for the first time something in my mind or my instincts or my heart told me to join her. She defied me. She challenged me. She gave me hope. Before I knew it, moving forward was my only option. Charlie I couldn’t tell you when it happened, but it had to have been a gradual change; I never moved too quickly. If someone would have told me earlier that year what I was going to go through, I wouldn't have believed them. Jesse was so different from anyone I’d met before. And everyone I’ve met since. He sucked all the life out of me, in the best—and worst—ways. We don’t get strong overnight. For most of us it takes time. Strength isn’t measured by how high and fast our walls go up, but how easily we can watch them fall.

REVIEW
4.5 Gut Wrenching Stars .. 

What the hell just happened? What the hell did I just read? and why did I love it so much? Those are the questions I keep asking myself. My emotions are all over the place right now.

There are so many raw and real emotions flying around in this story. It is filled with so much anguish and heartbreak. It touches on real life issues. I was so equally angry at both Jesse and Charlie I just wanted scream.
I really need for these two, to find some progress.

Even with the mental beating I just took with reading Progress, I found Progress to be an overall fantastic read. It is one of those stories you will hate to love.
