BLINKING AWAKEWhere Reality Meets ImaginationThis book chronicles the author's complex journey of growing up within the disciplined and often rigid structure of a military family, contrasted by the deeply personal and vulnerable experience of his coming-of-age and coming out story. Life is not just a series of dates and facts; it is shaped by how we perceive and imagine our place in the world. BLINKING AWAKE goes beyond the traditional memoir to show how reality and imagination coexist when you are trying to find your place in a world that already has a script written for you. This memoir is intended to touch lives and remind readers that growth, courage, and authenticity are always worth embracingWritten in three parts, with multiple titled stories in each part, the sections are chronologically ordered. Parts I, II, and III divide the author's life into youth, adulthood to middle-age, and later years ((0-18, 19-40, and 41-70+). Stories within the three parts may be read independently, or the book may be read chronologically from the prologue, through the stages of the author's life, to the epilogue.Early readers have praised BLINKING AWAKE for its unique narrative structure and its poignant look at the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity with a youth shaped by a military family/s experiences. This book is an invitation to witness the moments in the author's life where reality and imagination meet.Richard R. Russey's purpose in telling his life story in this manner is to reveal the essence of truth. Mr. Russey's writing finds its footing and genesis in this search for truth and authenticity..©2026 Richard R. Russey (P)2026 Richard R. Russey
