This quote has been influential in my characterization of Gen. Gideon Sheridan in my draft novel Boudica and The Butcher.
One of my undrafted story ideas adapts “Shaka Zulu” to reimagine that he is a teenager growing up in a contemporary Chicago ghetto. His single mother is mentally ill. His absent father is a college professor and secret mobster influencing city politics. His unknown half-brother is the gang leader terrorizing the high school.
Hello,
Currently, I am a drafter and plodding editor of my own fiction stories. Looking towards the future when edited stories turn into published ones.
Here I am starting to bare my soul to give you a preview of what I have been working on.
See “Harvest of Blood” in this site’s menu bar for a preview of a draft chapter from Boudica and The Butcher, a novel set in a future Second American Civil War.
