I don’t believe you really care who I am. As an independent author, I’ve read hundreds of bios, and I know they’re as boring to read as they are difficult to write. You, I suspect, are just looking for a good book, and want to know whether I’m a guy that can give you what you want. If you like dragons, you want to know whether I will give you dragons. If you like reading dirty, kinky, sex - smut, not love - you’re looking for a book to make your pulse race and your mouth water. I’m a reader, just like you. I know how it feels. You just want to read a good book.

You just want to read a good book.

Well I’ve got a beautiful, young, geeky princess. Irene loves building things and she secretly wants to travel the stars. She’s America’s first official princess. Her father is the most powerful patriarch among the thirteen that rule the country in the year 2032. America’s ruling class was established through legislation, passed by the 118th Congress in 2024. Corporate Sovereignty was the law’s guiding principle, and that law became known as The New Rule. And as the most powerful conglomerate at that time, House Daco became the United States First House.

Irene fell in love with the man who built House Daco’s security forces. The paramilitary organization clamping down on the resistance, and waging war with House Watson, House Daco’s chief rival. The princess’s father does not approve, so Irene’s knight is on the run. Devin is one of the best military contractors in the business, but when Victor hires the assassin MCM to kill him, his only chance of surviving is to get out of New Orleans.

The main resistance to dynasty rule includes a hacktivist group whose mission is to expose the Point One Percent’s (P.O.P) control over the country. These hackers call themselves the P.O.P Watchers.

Dynasty style is popular fashion and a pseudo political ideology, but people like the labor economist Sheila McKinley oppose dynasty rule, and have from the beginning. Sheila suspects the alluring journalist Jasira Sayid is a dynasty insider, and although she tries to resist their relationship, Jasira draws Sheila into a world with power she never imagined.

So if you like reading about assassins, knights, princesses, kings, activists, American media, rebels, technology, you want to read my books. I will show you an America that will disturb you, astonish you, impress you. You will fall in love with my four couples - Sheila & Jasira, Devin & Irene, Victor & Natalia, Todd & Eve - the stars of Season One of The American Fathers.

Libraries: The Best Source for Free Audiobooks

A couple of hours before turning in for bed, I open a bottle of wine and listen to a few chapters of an audiobbok. I have an Audible account, and I agreed to the 90 trial of Playster, but increasingly, I'm listening to more and more audiobooks through my local library.

Henry’s Quotes

“Idealistic? Ruddy stupid, if you'll pardon the language, miss,: Mr Roberts said. "All this talk about power for the people and down with the ruling classes and everyone should govern themselves. It can never happen, I told him. The ruling classes are born to rule. They know how to do it. You take a person like you or me and you put us up there to run a country and we'd make a ruddy mess of it.”

I agree with you when it comes to full cast audio books. My first experience with that format was [bookcover:Hyperion|77566]

Hyperion (Hyperion Cantos, #1) by Dan Simmons

.

I'm a fan of that series, so I also listened to The Fall of Hyperion, which was not full cast. I think it would have been much better if it was, like book 1 in the series.

The invite was my pleasure. Thanks for accepting.

The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, #1) by Philip Pullman

series is the first full cast audio I listened to and loved it....if you find you like the full cast you should check out www.graphicaudio.net all of their audiobooks are full cast but the do have sound effects and music which does not work for everyone

I borrowed The Doomsday Book ePub from my local library. I like Connie Willis' writing but my favorite in her time travel series is To Say Nothing of The Dog. Since I read several books at a time I've had to renew my hold on The Doomsday Book, so I experience 3 weeks or so between reads. I think I'm about half way through it, and I'm finding the character Kivrin to be the most interesting in that story. I had a hard time getting into the conflict surrounding Badri's mysterious illness.
I see we have a number of books in common. Judging from the books we both liked, I think you would enjoy
