If I Were Your King is a satirical expose of America which is thoroughly researched, generously sprinkled with eye opening facts, including published articles, citings from historical documents, relevant quotes, witty observations, pithy parables, and regal humor. The King’s vernacular is bawdy Olde English at times as he relates many of his observations using comical medieval similarities.
The timing of this book is perfect! The public is clamoring for answers and demanding accountability from their elected officials in light of the many problematic issues facing our nation. Fans of this book will be the same ones who have read Glenn Beck, Al Franken, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and other political observationists. The wisdom of The King is part Mark Twain, part Will Rogers, part Ben Franklin, and part Dave Barry.
The King does not take political sides or fanatical religious viewpoints. He is a staunch American who believes in the visions of the Founding Fathers, and that the U.S. Constitution and The Declaration of Independence are the premise from which the kingdom should be governed. The King is benevolent towards his law abiding subjects and harsh with those who would harm the realm. Throughout the book it is evident The King wishes only the best for the kingdom and his citizens. He takes no pay, is charmingly self deprecating, and his rule is for only a single day.
The King’s goal is to right the wrongs of the country’s educational, financial, social, legal, criminal, governmental, business, and other systems while at the same time trying to shake his subjects (American citizens) awake to make them realize that this kingdom belongs to them, and that they are unwittingly letting it go down the drain.
For those who read If I Were Your King there will be plenty of laughs, revelations, chuckles, reflections, and epiphanies. It will also challenge readers to re-examine the freedoms which they have been accorded as a citizen of this land.
