Greetings, loyal readers!
It's been awhile, but I'm back! I'd like to take this opportunity to
introduce a new segment to the blog. Before, all I've ever given you
good readers are small snippets of my work (poetry, songs, short
stories, etc.), but nothing truly concrete when it comes to my
abilities as a storyteller, which is really the whole point of this blog. Well, this month, I want to introduce an
original serial story I've been working on, and will post one chapter
at a time as its own segment.
Presenting, for your reading pleasure,
exclusively on the J. A. George Author Blog . . .
Blue Jeans Samurai!
Yes, I know the title sounds silly, but
I think its a really great story so far. The premise: many years in
the future, the world is a dystopic global military dictatorship, in
which only those who have guns, bombs, and military-grade vehicles
have social standing and influence. The bigger and better the
weapons, the more power you have in the government. This means that
those without weapons are relegated to the slums of the world, where
they are force to craft archaic melee weapons (swords, axes, bows and
arrows, spears, clubs, etc.) and fight for their survival. Living
this life is a young man who has mastered the way of the sword, and
uses his prodigious skill to liberate his fellow poor from government
stormtroopers and make life better for the weak and ill-treated. His
parents were killed years ago, and in his quest to find their
killers, his struggles to better lives and bring back balance between
the rich and the poor grows from his homely neighborhood to bringing
down the cruel, tyrannical government once and for all.
As I said last month on Facebook, I
will be posting twice this month to make up for not posting in April.
Unfortunately, that means that this post counts as the first. But,
fear not, good readers. I'm already five chapters into this story,
and I'll be hard at work from here on out, shelling out as many as I
possibly can. I have about 26 planned so far, so there'll be plenty
of action once it gets underway.
Thank you for your time, and for your
eyes,
