about me

It's Still all about me

I'm a pretty laid back kind of guy. If you catch my attention in the forums by saying something clever, witty, or intelligent, there is a better than likely chance that I will take a look at your book.

If I stay with it for three chapters, I will definitely comment on it.

I'm in the process now of re editing, and re-writing.

Who knew writing could be such a chore? Not writing so much. I enjoy that part. It's more the endless nit finding, and
plot bunnies that need to be humanely extracted.

See you in the funny forums...

As for my book, If you love satire and dislike banks, you may enjoy it.

Although various wealthy Nigerians seem to have an inordinate amount of trust in my financial acumen and honesty, The fly in the ointment is when they ask such an honest man as I to dishonestly sneak money out of their country.

I'm afraid the only way I'll ever make my fortune is by convincing enough people to buy my book.

Be warned, I'm starting with you...:-)

The One True Bank

Robert Gracie

A satire for the 99%


For 2000 years, the holy bank has cornered the market on salvation and loans.

But in the poker pits and abandoned quarters of the city, unsanctioned change has started.

And when Kelly uncovers the Bank’s oldest secret and greatest fear, Pompaeo83 will incite a holy war to bury it again.

Fortunately, the ancient Order of Gnostr O’Damnus is ready this time.

O.G.O.D.

Kiss your assets goodbye...

(Book is complete at 85,000 words. Only 8 chapters uploaded)

Interesting, Interesting. The dialogue is just the right mix of archaeic grammar and simple text, to give it an otherworldly feel without sounding forced or pompous. Not an easy feat to pull off. This is the kind of writing I love to read. Characterisation, setting, and backstory deftly painte... view book

I shall cherish this book until my dotage, whereupon I shall read it and cackle wildly whilst flinging poo at the orderlies. What larks! view book

This is of a quality that I have rarely seen on Authonomy. Whereas many of our books are works in progress, I find this one to be highly polished and complete in most respects. This is not my normal choice of subject matter, but the subtle characterization and style made it difficult for me to ... view book

Clever times 10. It's rare that a book makes my sides and my brain hurt at the same time. laughing and thinking, that's what satire is all about. Thank you for treating your readers as if we have a fully functioning language center, and are capable of discerning the levels you have written... view book
