Pacific Retired school teacher, counselor, supervisor, and scholarship and academic director"Doug has truly awakened his inner author and placed it on full display with I Have Lived! Punching well above its weight class, his novella draws you in as it weaves across continents, combining finely researched details with larger-than-life characters from Africa to Afghanistan, while its main character stays grounded by a love that is as deep as it is strong. Anyone who has been tested-or knows others who have-will find something sweet and meaningful in I Have Lived!"-Mike DonigerFormer decorated U.S. Navy Submarine Officer, COO and Founder of Chaberton Energy"I Have Lived presents an exceptional story that carries the reader through one man's journey of discovery, through courage, honor, sacrifice, hope, friendship, and romance, to God's unfailing love. From the close, intimate relationships borne in combat, to the touching bond between divergent souls met in the wilds of Africa, to the love of a special, faith-driven woman, this novella covers all the bases. It is a story about the deepest kind of injuries, and the greatest of all cures: the love of family and friends, and God's amazing grace. The story is compelling, with striking visuals, a unique depth of character, and a firm, unfailing commitment to Faith. The author has dug deep to create this remarkable novella and I recommend it wholeheartedly."-Dave PrattAuthor of the Home Team seriesLieutenant Colonel (Retired), U.S. Army"A compelling and inspirational story of true heroes. Doug Lanzo does an extraordinary job of portraying the dedication, courage, and passion of the post-9-11 American veteran and of the spouses and partners who love them."-E.G. MatthewsCombat Army Veteran, Afghanistan and Iraq"I Have Lived is an excellent romance novella that keeps the pages turning with effective use of flashbacks. Extremely well written and well researched, I felt like I received a genuine insider peek into the sacrifices and brotherhood of armed forces as well as the culture and traditions of the Maasai people. I would highly recommend this book."-Darwin OlympiaManaging Director, Shields & Company"A captivating blend of human behavior and spirituality. Merits not just one, but multiple readings. I enjoyed The Year of the Bear but Mr. Lanzo outdid himself with this novella.The epilogue was beautiful . . . I had to stop and take a moment to worship." -Rebeca CortezBehavior Analyst and Social Media Influencer
