By Leo Flory
Leo Flory will share how he was first inspired to write and how that inspiration led to his first book, 101st Airborne Combat Medic: Transition to Duty, which tells the story of his tour with the Screaming Eagles in Vietnam. He will also explain how he came up with the idea for his novel, On the Slow Lam, which was published this year. He is now working on a book of short stories—and who knows where his writing journey will lead next.
Leo Flory was born in Decatur, Michigan, in 1948 and lived and worked there until his retirement in 2013. He served two years in the U.S. Army, including one year in Vietnam. He has been married to his wife, Ann, for 55 years, and together they have three adult daughters. Inspired to begin writing in 2010, he has continued to pursue that passion, and his second book, On the Slow Lam, was recently published.
