I'm writing the next third now, covering 1859 through 1869 when the intercontinental railway is finally built. Then finally the last book will be from 1869 through 1880 when Emperor Norton dies. We know how this story ends, which makes it a little easier to write but also tricky because you have to get it exactly right. (less)

I actually outlined the plot back then as a screenplay, but the pandemic inspired me to write it out as a novel. I got the inspiration to start it while walking the dog at Coit Tower Park one afternoon. (less)

Darren liked a quote
America's Last Emperor by Darren McKeeman
“At the peremptory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the past nine years and ten months of San Francisco, California, declare and proclaim myself Emperor of these U.S., and in virtue of the authority thereby in me vested, do hereby order and direct the representatives of the different States of the Union to assemble in the Musical Hall of this city on the 1st day of February next, then and there to make such alterations in the existing laws of the Union as may ameliorate the evils under which the country is laboring, and thereby cause confidence to exist, both at home and abroad, in our stability and integrity. Norton I., Emperor of the United States.”

“All hells in this world are the prisons you make in your own heart; all battles must be fought there'," said Charlie. "My grandma used to say that to me.”
Darren McKeeman, City of Apocrypha

“Sam and I had lived together for many months at this point, and I thought I’d gotten to know her pretty well. I realized I was wrong after watching her dance. I can’t really describe it any better than that I felt like I was taking a peek at someone else’s soul. Not much ever makes me feel like that.”
Darren McKeeman, City of Apocrypha

“We’ve lived so long based on the seasons, or the phases of the moon,” I said. “Women are particularly vulnerable to it, if you want to get sexist. In the past few centuries we’ve gotten away from it and we are turning into beings that live around the clock on artificial cycles. I think it’s making our society a bit psychotic.”
Darren McKeeman, City of Apocrypha
