I love it for exactly those reasons. It transports me to another place and time. And isn’t that what storytelling should do? Excellent writing!

Oh, man! Make me cry, why don't you! Thanks so much, Mark, for seeing this little chronicle for what it has to offer.

When I read fiction, I don’t want read “ripped from the headlines.” I want to escape. To be transported to something outside of my experiences. Period stories are like time travel! I love them.

Which probably why my first novel was set in the late 18th century. 🤣

Tell me the name of it and where I can find it, please.

It is titled The Grand Story Of The Seemingly Impossible Adventures Of Baron Britpop Blastfurnace. Or Baron Britpop Blastfurnace for short. 🤣

It is available on Amazon, but you can read it for free on my Substack, here:

It is a mishmash of adventure, romance, humor, action, and friendship. It may not be your cup of tea. It is very quirky. So don’t feel obligated to read it. 🤓
