This comes much in line with two of the more prominent supporting characters in the 1st and 2nd book that I've finished out of the book series that I'm currently working on. It's essentially a fantasy/sci-fi story about a parallel antediluvian history of Atlantis, which is basically a close match and parody of our current times - and these political dynasties that have emerged in what is presumably the most advanced society in the world at the time, are at the core of the oligarchic structure of the Atlantean society that I'm describing there. All in all, it's a mirror image of some of the most developed "great powers" of our real world, but portrayed in a sarcastic manner. And guys like this one and his relatives definitely provide a lot of lullzy material.

But I digress. The Bushonites may still be in the game, but they don't look very likely to retain power any time soon.

Not yet, but I'm already in negotiations with an online publishing house. Been working on the 3rd one in the meantime.

Why do I have a suspicion that I'm going to need a hardcopy first edition for my library?

Well...if it is in English, I suppose. :)

Damn you clever foreigners...using English as a second language better than most native speakers. :)

It's in Bulgarian. But I may translate it into English at some later point.

Like I said, it's an online publishing house - which means at least the first 2 books will be in digital copy rather than hardcopy.
