I’m happy to welcome back author Nancy Lee Badger. Today, Nancy shares an inspiring comeback story and her new release, Heaven-Sent Warrior.

Here’s Nancy!

On the way to publishing my latest book, I have a personal story to tell. Back in early May 2023, I published a book, the third in a series. One week later, my life imploded. While traversing the airport underground garage, I fell off a curb. My sister was waiting for me and I said “Take me to the hospital.”

Many hours later, my left wrist was in a cast and the pain from my five broken ribs required a trip to another hospital because the doctor said, “At your AGE, you need to stay overnight.” Did he have to say it that way? Couldn’t he just mention the drugs they filled me with? Or, the difficulty breathing plaguing me? One ambulance transport later, I ended up staying three nights.

What did this mean to my writing you ask? Have you ever tried to type with one hand? I survived because I had set up lots of promotions in advance for my book’s release. It took a while to get back to writing (and shopping, and doing laundry, etc.) and the results were a short story and a poem for my local writing group’s fundraiser in 2023 and 2024. The latest news is the re-issue of my favorite book series starting with Heaven-Sent Warrior. Did I mention as I lay in my recliner in pain FOR MONTHS that my publisher closed their doors? I love my Warriors in Bronze series, so have edited and updated the three books. I even submitted a short story for the writing group’s 2025 fundraiser for this year, which was accepted. I am back! If you find yourself beat down, but ready for life’s second act, you can do it too!
