Emperor | Chapter 3 | Inside Man - 2046 | Scene 8
This is scene 8 of my serialized novel, Emperor. I’ve posted 15 audio recordings on Substack, and I’d like to share the scene here. Scene 1 has the following stats: viewed 156 | Opened 100% | Total Downloads 130. Scene 7 has the most downloads (312) but only 36 views. Downloads for all audio posts total 1.85 thousand. The downloads were made in 40 countries, with the top countries including:United States, Philippines, Sweden, Ireland, Canada, and Australia. The location of 1% of the downloads is unknown. I’m pleasantly surprised that the audio podcast has significantly more downloads and a much broader reach than my video podcast. The point of all this is to expose my writing to the world. I am writing a trilogy set in America’s future, which is to say, I’m assuming America has a future. The odd-numbered chapters of Emperor take place in 2046. The even-numbered chapters start in 2019 and then expose the reader to recent events, plausible fictional events, and alarmingly plausible near-future events.
