In this episode, we have a fantastic conversation with author Ray McPadden. We discuss his new memoir, We March at Midnight, which covers his combat tours and life on and off the battlefield. We also discuss his writing methods and publishing process, what he likes to read, fly fishing, his work in Natural Resources with the NPS at Yellowstone, complications with R&R, and transitioning back to civilian life. We really enjoyed this conversation and hope you do as well!

We March at Midnight will be out on August 3, make sure to pick up a copy wherever you get your books! Also, don't forget to check out his fiction novel, And the Whole Mountain Burned.

Ray served as an infantry officer with 2nd Ranger Battalion and 10th Mountain Division, deploying four times and living almost two years on the Afghan-Pakistan border. He earned a Purple Heart, two Bronze Stars, and a medal for valor during his time in combat. His first novel, And The Whole Mountain Burned, won the American Library Association’s W. Y. Boyd Award in 2019. Ray lives in Montana with his wife, daughter and son. You can find Ray here.
