Songs from the ptsd mind

This collection of poems deepens into the daily unseen battles thousands of veterans face. Now, I’ve turned these words into songs – raw, honest, and heartfelt – to reach those who might not have the time to sit and read.    I’ll admit that I’m no songwriter or musician, but with the help of AI, I’ve transformed these pieces into something that speaks to the soul. For me, it’s not about perfection; it’s about the message.

"As an avid reader of both Lee Child and David Baldacci. I am pleased to have found a new author. Each character Steve created had their own unique skill set and the camaraderie of a tight-knit group.

About Steve barker

I am Steve Barker, a British author, born and raised in the charming town of Farnham, Hampshire, England. Growing up in such a picturesque location instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and the beauty that surrounds us. 

After completing my studies, I found myself drawn to the military, and in 1979, I made the bold decision to enlist in the British Army. This marked the beginning of a fulfilling and adventurous career. I was stationed with the Royal Green Jackets in Winchester, where I honed my skills and learned valuable life lessons that would shape my future endeavours.
