Descrption:
In 1972, there were 371,366 dependents of military personnel living overseas, people who spent their childhoods in a world that stops promptly at 5:00 in the afternoon to pay homage to the flag; where everything is painted in shades of green, and “hometowns” are places that only exist on television. The Brat Chronicles reflects the experiences of these thousands of Americans who fought the good fight, not on the field of battle, but in living rooms of military housing around the world. They each have stories to tell. These are some of Michael’s.
Michael studied Art and Creative Writing at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, where he was editor of the student newspaper. He went on to become the editorial cartoonist for The Daily Texan at the University of Texas. Upon leaving college, Michael achieved critical acclaim for his series of full-color, cartoon, political posters, one of which was placed in the political memorabilia archives at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library.
The book can be purchased through the Literary Road webpage at www.literaryroad.com, or through barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or wherever books are sold.
Donna Musil, Writer-Director, “BRATS: Our Journey Home,” the first feature-length documentary about military brats, narrated by singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson, has this to say about The Brat Chronicles:
“The Brat Chronicles had me laughing out loud from the first chapter. The Griswold Family has nothing on the Ritters. From falling in French toilets to feeding seven on a Master Sergeant’s salary, ‘it’s all just part of the adventure.’ Michael Ritter may well be the Jeff Foxworthy of brats!” |
