My books are a satirical thought experiment: what if one of the many early leftist proponents of eugenics took power instead of Hitler? What would the world be like if, instead of a Nazi/racial nightmare there was a socialist one? This is explored over the entire series as a subplot. Why this series? Growing up I moved to Vancouver, Canada, for a year. Canadian history was pretty dull. Except the odd stuff they don't talk about. For example: the man who started their Universal Health Care, Tommy Douglas, (Keifer Sutherland's grandfather), was voted 'Greatest Canadian Ever'. He also 'proposed a system that would require couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally fit. Those judged "subnormal" would be sent to state camps, those mentally defective would be sterilized.' Really. Jack Bauer's granddaddy. But this series is not just a thought experiment on eugenics and the left, it's a fun satire on contemporary values set in the 1930's with lots of historical twists.Who will enjoy reading my books? Maybe not Canadians, but if you are a history junkie, like satire, like mashups - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (without the Zombies) - and those who like totally off the wall humor with a tall order of parody mixed in, give Adolf a chance to get into your heart.
