about me

My wife and I live in the south of France where, in addition to our house, we have a three bedroom guest house (what the French call a gîte) that is an ideal place for aspiring writers to get away on a working holiday to write or to do research on the medieval city of Carcassonne, the ruined Cathar castles, the canal du midi, and the Mediterranean area.

THE AUDACITY OF HOPE AND CHANGE is a political science fiction novel that includes mystery and satire. The disclosures in chapter 1 about JFK and Marilyn Monroe are completed in a later chapter.

Truth can be stranger than fiction. Check out this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1378284/Secret-memo-shows-JFK-demanded-UFO-files-10-days-assassination.html before reading chapter 1 (written in 2009).

Update April 26, 2011
I have been away from the site for some time, working on revisions to the book. I will be posting the edited chapters over the next few days. To date I have uploaded revisions for chapters 1-2.

If you leave a comment that shows you have actually read part of the book, or if you put my book on your shelf, I will be glad to take a look at your book. If I like your book or feel that it has potential, I will leave a comment. Depending on my reaction to the book, I may or may not put it on my shelf.

I'm looking for serious, honest critiques to help me improve my writing. Mindless comments, intended solely to get me to look at your book, will have the opposite effect.

Please don't ask me to read erotica or excessive profanity.

THE AUDACITY OF HOPE AND CHANG....

Steven R. Lloyd

Unexpectedly traveling through time, the President uncovers an apocalyptic past that is still in his future. Can he rewrite history before the future becomes reality?


After only two years in office, the new President of the United States is well on his way to accomplishing the most radical transformation of America since Abraham Lincoln. But he has no idea that his own life is about to be forever changed.

When the mysterious Colonel Smith reveals America’s most closely guarded secret, including never before released information about the deaths of JFK and Marilyn Monroe, the stage is set for the President to take an unexpected journey to the future and back again. What he learns in the future sets him on a quest to rewrite history. In a battle of wits with an enemy from his past, the President is in a race against time while the fate of the United States and the world hangs in the balance. But what if the only way to win is to lose?

This is a tale of two Americas: One a conservative land of capitalism and personal responsibility; the other a progressive utopia of socialism and scientific efficiency. One person's dream is another person's nightmare. Both are real. Which will prevail? Discover THE AUDACITY OF HOPE AND CHANGE.

Read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1378284/Secret-memo-shows-JFK-demanded-UFO-files-10-days-assassination.html then read chapter one.

Just finished rereading the first chapter. Not sure what all you have changed since I last read it, but this is a very strong beginning. It is very well done. The only thing that bothered me personally was the "in his ears" in the first sentence. In whose ears? I still wasn't sure after reading... view book

I want to thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my book, especially since Sci-fi is not your thing.

The Glass Harmonica -- This is a great opening chapter. You give enough hints that the suicide does not come as a surprise. What is a surprise is that Maria hasn't mailed the letters. You have an engaging style. The connections between Ben Franklin, WW II and the modern day will help this to app... view book
