Logan Wes spent part of his childhood in an orphanage. From 1967 to 1971, he served honorably in the US Air Force, based in Thailand. Along the way, he earned a 1st degree black belt in Karate and brown belt in Tae Kwon Do. With The Butterfly Kiss, he has transmuted that life into art - a novel of tragedy, love, and deep feeling. Centered at Tan Son Nhut Air Force Base during the Vietnam War, it spans decades, continents and genres, blending intrigue and romance in lush, rich sentences. Informed by experience and historical research, The Butterfly Kiss is most of all full of a deep respect for the sacrifices of servicemen and women throughout the world.
