TONIGHT'S BLOG POST: A SNEAK PEEK AT PRESIDENT HAMILTON!

I've been working on this for nearly a year now, and it's nearing completion.
This may be the one that finally helps me reach a large, mainstream audience!
Read this selection and tell me what you think:

Well written Indy and a good read, although as the main character isn't really someone I know about so I did wonder a bit about why I should be interested in him (I know there is a musical about him and I remember hearing something about a duel but that's about the extent)? Anyone more familiar with US history though (or if I was to read the entire novel) wouldn't have that issue and I think will find it enjoyable.

Keep in mind the part we read begins in 1811... ALEXANDER HAMILTON was never President and died in 1804...  it's historic fiction.

Correct, although the name for this particular flavor is "alternative history" - AKA WHAT IF? stories

I own all your novels, Indy, they're each good reads and people who haven't read them don't know what they're missing. I think my all-time favorite part of your books was when the Persian emperor introduced the Roman envoy to his.....pet. (Gotta read to find out what the pet is!) But Caligula getting his ass kicked was good too.
