 About Birth of and Empire
   I started writing this story while I was working as a delivery driver to
a pizzeria.  As you can guess the setting and characters are all based on
that pizzeria.  Both my boss and his wife when she took over treated me
like shit.  For 3 years I was literally working 7 days a week 8-12 hours
each day.  My whole life was consumed by the job.  I hated it with every
fiber of my being, while at the same time could no longer imagine a life
without it.  The only thing that got me through it was thinking up this
story as I drove and finally writing it down.  Birth of an Empire is the
first in a planned trilogy: Birth of an Empire, Rise of an Empire, and Fall
of an Empire.  But when the pizzeria finally shut down due to the economy I
not only lost my job, but the momentum of writing the story as well.  I am
not sure if I have abandoned the story.  Although this first part of the
series is getting close to where I was planning on ending it anyway.  Then
of course there would be the next part to worry about.
