James William's Story
MY NOVEL--- ETERNAL CITY: CONFESSIONS OF A VAMPIRE
I have written one of the finest vampire novels in the English language. : )
My book bears the title, Eternal City: Confessions of a Vampire, which work was seven years in the crafting and has been through three publications. It is selling online around the world.
Eternal City secured perfect ratings for its storyline at the 12th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards.
"It was very different from most books that I have read. I was captivated from the beginning and had to keep turning the pages to find out what happened next." ~~~ Reviewer of Eternal City: Confessions of a Vampire-- at the 12th Annual International Self-Published Awards.
So, what is Eternal City about?? Well, in a one-sentence nutshell, Eternal City tells a tale--- and is it just a tale ---about the ongoing war between Lucifer and God, a tale set in the context of a story about vampires.............
SYNOPSIS
PART ONE of THREE
What would any human being not give up to be twenty or twenty-five years old forever?
One young prince of the Nobility discovered that the price for his immortality involved not only the surrender of his
soul--- something he would hardly miss --but also the loss of the only woman he was destined ever truly to love.
He discovers that, while vampires can live virtually forever, the longing for love from one other can last just as
long.........., and this longing can bring its own form of unending torment..........
PART TWO of THREE
He also finds himself behind the looking-glass of our reality-- and enters a reality, which most of us are glad not
to know As a vampire, he enters the war between Good and Evil, as a conscript. He encounters Angels and
demons. He takes a journey to Hell. He enters a world of secret societies and super-ancient civilizations.........
Vampire-hunters make the lives of vampires more interesting----and just as mortals cannot evade the mundane
realities of death and taxes; so even vampires find ineluctable the realities of the hidden government and the
global society of vampire-- who did put Prince Vladimir on trial for alleged crimes against the Code.
PART THREE OF THREE
Vladimir made a bargain for immortality and later realizes that there was a lot more fine print to the deal than at
first he thought. He got what he wanted most: he can live forever---more or less---but he also learns the
hardest lesson there is to be learned: you don't dance with the Devil for free.........

KIRKPATRICK'S 25 PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY THEOREMS
1) HISTORY REMEMBERS PEOPLE PRIMARILY FOR WHAT THEY DO TO OTHERS OR
FOR OTHERS.
2) GOVERNMENTS HAVE THEIR NATURAL END IN DECADENCE AND TYRANNY.
THE ONLY HOPE IS TO KEEP POINT A ( INCEPTION / INAUGURATION ) AS FAR AS POSSIBLE
FROM POINT B ( FATAL CORRUPTION / TYRANNY ) FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. REFORMS
EN ROUTE IN A GOVERNMENT'S DEVELOPMENT CAN DELAY ARRIVAL AT POINT B.
WITH REGARD TO THE CIVIL ORDER, ORGANIC AND REFORMING CHANGES
IN GOVERNMENT ARE BETTER AND PREFERABLE TO THOSE CHANGES ESSENTIALLY
DEPENDENT ON VIOLENCE.
3) NATIONAL PRESIDENCIES ALWAYS DECAY INTO DICTATORSHIPS.
4) TAXES MAKE AN ADDICT OF GOVERNMENT.
5) INCOME TAX, BECAUSE OF ITS REVOLVING NATURE, GOING LIKE A DISEASE FROM ONE
PERSON TO ANOTHER, CONSTITUTES A FORM OF TYRANNY.
6) DEMOCRACY-- NOT RELIGION --IS THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES.
7) EARTH TIME = REVOLUTION OF THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN X ROTATION OF THE
EARTH ON ITS AXIS ( X = 'IN RELATION TO' ).
8) HUMAN TIME = REVOLUTION OF THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN X ROTATION OF THE EARTH
ON ITS AXIS X THE EXISTENCE OF MANKIND X INDIVIDUAL LIFETIMES ( X = 'IN RELATION
TO' ).
9) INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE CONTAINS THE SEEDS OF WAR.
10) ANYTHING WHICH CAN BE ABUSED WILL BE ABUSED AT SOME TIME.
11) WE POSSESS NOTHING AS WELL AS DO THE PRESENT AND THE PAST.
12) THE FAMILY FORMS THE ESSENTIAL FOUNDATION OF ANY SOCIETY.
13) THE SOCIAL HEALTH OF ANY SOCIETY DEPENDS ON ITS FAMILIES.
14) WAR PERMANENTLY CHANGES THE FUNDAMENTAL COURSE OF A SOCIETY'S
DEVELOPMENT.
15) TOTAL WAR, FALLING UPON THE INNOCENT AND THE DEFENSELESS, IS
UNWORTHY OF ANY SOCIETY CALLING ITSELF CIVILIZED.
16) WHEN A RULER FAILS TO PROTECT HIS PEOPLE, HE LOSES HIS AUTHORITY TO GOVERN.
17) LEFTISM ALWAYS EMBRACES A FUHRER.
18) POLITICAL PARTIES : FOLLY FOR FOOLS.
19) IN A DEMOCRACY OR A REPUBLIC, WHENEVER SUCH A GOVERNMENT'S APPROVAL RATING
DROPS BELOW 50% FOR LONGER THAN A YEAR, THAT GOVERNMENT LOSES ITS AUTHORITY
TO GOVERN.
20) THE WORST THING THE OLDER GENERATION CAN DO TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION
IS LITERALLY TO SPOIL THEM.
21) THE SADDEST WORDS IN HISTORY : ' If only ' .
