In the next few days

my book, Dramatis Personae: Stories for Inventing History will be updated with a pretty extensive story of the life of Marie d' Antoinette. For those that hunger after stories of gods and heroes, this may be just the thing. The book already includes the story of gods named Zheng Guo and Aston-I-Shed, as well as lesser heroes or villains of alternate history such as R.V. Winkl, Poverty or the inventor of the book, and Aaron Burr.

The book will be updated in the next three days. Feel free to purchase it when the listing says that it is 80 pages. That is the updated edition.

The Dramatis Personae: Stories for Inventing History

An alternate history title.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Twenty incredible stories from the past, present, and future lives of Nathan Coppedge: the text includes two sections. The first section is called ‘The Self,’ and is devoted to Nathan Coppedge’s interesting incarnations as a ‘cave boy,’ ‘the urchin of Ur,’ one of the Eight Chinese Immortals, the Egyptian god of Astonishment, the burner of the Library of Alexandria, the inventor of the book, a child who names himself the end of humanity, Pippin son of William Tell, Pharisee the Fakir, the spy Aaron Burr, the self-made Rip Van Winkl, someone who believed himself to be Euler, the so-called Burgher King, a soul inside a super-computer, Eucaleh and a number of quasi-devilish future lives. Section Two is called ‘Others,’ and is devoted to a variety of personalities which Coppedge feels influenced history---all of them concocted with a faculty for creative invention. This is alternate-history-in-the-making, all from the standpoint of a self-described ‘potential novelist.’

The title is now available at Amazon HERE.
