About this author
Hi all,
I'm working on a sequel to my last novel, a dystopian, sci-fi black comedy called Thank You For Your Cooperation.
This installment is called Your Call Is Important To Us. Although still being written, I thought I'd share the very beginning with you.
Enjoy!

“Hello?”
“Yes. What?”
A short but excruciating silence. “I was given this number by a colleague.”

Gyges the Terrible (Science Fiction & Fantasy)

Description:
What would you be like if you could do anything you wanted and feared no punishment?
This is a futuristic Earth, a dystopia. Drugs are a commonplace amusement and unemployment is a capital crime. Freemocracy camps exist for those who make trouble, and most of us try and escape the boredom of our lives in a common virtual world called “The Sim”.
Like the rest of us, Marcellus is just an ordinary. But one day, he finds a magical token. A whole new world opens up. It's a world he was never supposed to see. There are specials. They eat real food. There are the wide, cavernous halls of the White House where the strings of Empire are expertly pulled. The ordinaries are puppets, he realizes. He'll never go back.
Samuel Judas Epstein, President and Lord of the Americas, knows that Marcellus is a threat. Marcellus' friends - Jango, Maya, Icarus, and Jennifer - can't quite understand why Marcellus hesitates. He can do whatever he wants. Why should this red-bearded dwarf stand in his way?
Of course, Marcellus is in a precarious position. Things are more complicated than he thought. He can't very well tell them his Guardian Angel speaks to him in his dreams. They'd think he was crazy.
Later on, Marcellus is banished to the lunar territories. It is there that he meets the infamous general, Munib the Magnificent, the Shadow of God on Earth. It is amidst the peaceful silence and strange beauty of Luna that he is finally able to resolve the conflict simmering inside.
He returns to earth. But does he really set things right? Is it even in his power?

Description:
Welcome to the Bunker, an orderly, underground utopia where everyone's needs have been satisfied.
"Psst! Why don't you take a break for a few stretches, citizen. Your supervisor won't notice.
"Haven't heard of Terry Renfield, eh? Maybe you should take this book. Maybe you should read it. Because there's a lot more going on down here than you're probably aware. Terry Renfield knows. He broke through the cheap web of lies. I can show you how he did it. Or does the truth scare you too much?
"Control runs this place. It's staffed by Alpha clearance citizens, the brightest and the most trustworthy. They've been tasked with protecting the environment. Otherwise we might destroy this wholesome dreamland of ours like the earthlings did to their home. Control protects us from all the terrorists, too. Traitors and social deviants are everywhere. We must remain vigilant!
"You think I'm a terrorist. I can see it in your scared, little eyes. You've seen one too many episodes of Ten Things I Hate About Treason hosted by Van Johnson. You're about to tell me to go get dysentery and leave you alone before the security cameras catch us.
"We couldn't live without Control, could we?
"Think again!"
