Rome's Revolution 3455 AD
Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything but I am finally adding a new entry here to announce a seemingly insignificant but rather important change. Since 1973, the title of my first book was Rome's Revolution. I had no choice in the matter. This was simply the title. However, in the age of AI, I used a program to give me some feedback on the pilot script for the upcoming streaming series.
Mostly the AI was useless in terms of its feedback. Very generic. But one item it brought to my attention was that the title wasn't "science-fictiony" enough. The AI suggested I change the title to Rome's Galactic Revolution or other even goofier names. But it got me to thinking.
I've always had people tell me when they heard just the title, they figured it was about the Roman Empire. By simply adding the year in which the story takes place, 3455 AD, to the title, knowing nothing else, anyone seeing it would immediately know it was science fiction.
So here's the new title:
My brother Bruce was kind enough to update the cover for me. Take a look at this beauty:
So... what do you think?
