What would William Shakespeare have written about the United States today? Find out in MacTrump, a devilishly biting satire that fictionalizes the first two years of the Trump administration in the style of a wholly original Shakespeare play!

No one thought that MacTrump—Lord of MacTrump Towers, Son of New York—would ascend to the highest position in the kingdom. Yet with the help of his unhappy but dutiful wife Lady MacTrump, his clever daughter Desdivanka, and his coterie of advisers, MacTrump is comfortably ensconced in the White Hold as President of the United Fiefdoms, free to make proclamations to his subjects through his favorite messenger, McTweet.

As Desdivanka schemes to overthrow her father’s councilors, MacTrump soon realizes he has no true allies. Will he be able to hold on to his throne? Only time will tell in MacTrump, the tragicomic tale of ambition, greed, and royal ineptitude!

License to Quill is a James Bond-esque spy thriller starring William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe during history's real life Gunpowder Plot.

The story follows the fascinating golden age of English espionage, the tumultuous cold war gripping post-Reformation Europe, and the cloak-and-dagger politics of Renaissance England. Readers will frequent the same taverns as Shakespeare, test their wits against the infamous Guy Fawkes, witness the miracles of the scientific revolution, and delight in the mysterious origins of the Bard's most haunting play: Macbeth.

​
Heavily based on real events and extensively researched for accuracy, License to Quill  is a sweeping, sometimes frightening immersive experience that will change the way you look at William Shakespeare forever!
