Phoenix Republic: The Lone Star Gambit
First and foremost, my goal in writing Phoenix Republic is to tell a story that feels real and credible; to pierce the reality-bias that affects us all.  Our familiar world is rapidly changing.  Not unlike the titanic cultural shift affecting England following World War One, the underpinnings of our daily lives have reached a breaking point that may well lead to a fundamental shift in life as we live it today.  Phoenix Republic depicts a scenario average people can identify with.  If Americans at least consider what they see happening around them every day the endeavor will be a success.
