    About this ebook

    'Conceived in Liberty'

    A time-traveling romp through the American monarchy founded by Benedict Arnold

    What if a fate worse than the Zika or Ebola viruses threatened our lives in Benedict Arnold's monarchy founded after George Washington's ragtag army was defeated?

    In 2063, the ruler of the Union of Royal American States was Queen Alyssa, whose family descended from Benedict's distant cousin, King Abraham Lincoln. The family had always ascended to the throne by murdering its previous ruler. In this case, Alyssa killed her father.

    The paranoid queen's nightmares contained undocumented aliens trying to usurp the throne and enslave her subjects. In this comedic, sci-fi, time-traveling romp through history, the queen asks Tamar Weaver, the founder of AT&T (A Taste of Time), to travel into the past and repair the fabric of time so that Alyssa's reign could continue unhindered.

    Changing fate isn't simple for Tamar as she encounters historical figures in non-whitewashed situations never before documented. Author Don Canaan documents the unvarnished truth about, among others, the Lincoln and Washington families.

    If you're prudish, a historical hardhead, stubborn, a curmudgeon without a sense of humor, you shouldn't read "Conceived in Liberty" by Don Canaan because you won't enjoy it.

    Interview with Author Don Canaan

    Q:Did this comedic, time traveling romp really happen?

    A:It happened because if it didn't, you, most likely, would not be here asking me this question.

    Conceived in Liberty came to me in a dream. I'm originally from New York and as a student at the Royal Stuyvesant H.S. and the Royal City College of New York, I worked at the 42nd Street Library, which was built on the site of the majestic Crystal Palace. It was that building's destruction and the 1863 Draft Riots that disturbed me as King Abraham and his promiscuous wife, Mary Todd, ruled in regal splendor from their palace in Benedict Heights.

    Q:How can one believe you and appreciate this book if time was rewritten and we weren't present in the former timeline?

    A:Be grateful you weren't there because the queen's paranoia extended to her subjects that even dared look her in the eye. You wouldn't want to cross that genetic murderer. Her secret police were embedded within all parts of the monarchy, and possibly even within your immediate family.

    I can assure you that it wasn't a good place in which to live. I have it on good authority from Tamar's hermetically-sealed memoir that Alyssa's reign was not the best of times. Actually, it was the worst of times.

    Q:Are there fictional elements in Tamar's memoir just as there were in your other novels, "Daddy's Girl," "Pretty Little Girl" and "Dedicated Doctor or Baby Broker?"

    A:Of course. Tamar gave me permission to embellish her story (and make it more commercial) so that more people will know how to confront a similar situation if it ever happened again. I've created some fictional characters and events for the novel, but the historical characters that Tamar encountered are all part of the history of our glorious Union of Royal American States.

He edited news film and documentaries for NBC News in New York, receiving a joint editorial commendation (as Donald Swerdlow) for Producer Fred Freed’s “American White Paper: Organized Crime in the United States.” In 1974, Canaan immigrated to Israel as part of an American group planning to found and settle in the new city of Yamit in the Sinai, north of El Arish. Upon returning to the U.S, Canaan became a unemployment statistic because news film had been superseded by videotape, which was controlled by a different union.. Ohio State University's School of Journalism came to the rescue with an offer to earn a master's degree while serving as an assistant in its TV news workshop. Canaan was hired as staff writer and photographer for The American Israelite in Cincinnati where he enterprised many stories.. His series, "Jews in Ohio's Prisons: Does Anybody Care?" won first place for best weekly journalism in Ohio from the State of Ohio Bar Association. .
