Meticulously researched and crafted by King Nicholas of America, ‘2 Psalms’ is a powerful piece of revisionist history, comprising short stories that expose secrets and hidden facts about the nation’s past. From intruiging “what ifs” to a healthy dose of tribalism – its American history as it has never been seen before.
Alexandria, LA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/27/2015 -- While the nation's history is a staple in the diet of most Americans, much exists that the education system, popular culture and the media rarely acknowledge. In a powerful new book by King Nicholas of America, this alternative story of the nation's founding comes to spectacular life.
Everything unravels in '2 Psalms'; short stories with a hugely-entertaining and insightful purpose.
Synopsis:
Weaving pieces of history into interesting fictionalized vignettes, the author explores the secret and hidden facets of America's present and past. This collection of eighteen stories contains an eclectic mix of what ifs, of little-known history, and of tribalism.
King Nicholas has assembled floating near-present scenarios, as in the revelatory "Life of Benjamin Ficklin X" and in the imaginative dystopia, "The Welsh Opera." He has included stories of urban fantasy such as the nostalgic "Vogelsong" and in a sojourn to the past that might have been in "Powhatan Paramountcy." The Founding Fathers are also represented in imaginative tales such as in "Madison's Manifesto" and the investigation of who is amongst us, "Puppet Jefferson."
A work of historical fiction that blends suspense, wry humor, and airships, 2 Psalms offers a collection of short stories that focus on the founding of the United States and presents one version of revisionist history.
"My goal is to expand the average American's knowledge of their own nation's past and present," explains the author, who claims to be directly related to thirty-four Presidents. "Revising history and fusing it with fiction presents the perfect opportunity to do this, in a way that will grip and be relevant to any reader."
Continuing, "The short story format allows readers to dip in and out at will, also making it the perfect volume for book clubs, educational institutions and private family study. It will provoke plenty of debate, too!"
With the book's demand expected to increase, interested readers are urged to secure their copies without delay.
