Mandarin Rose

by James Gordon

The first book in the Kitty Wu Series.


What if America became a socialist republic?


In the new America, citizenship means your every need is cared for. All you have to do is take an emotion-numbing pill and surrender your rights.
For Kitty Wu, life as a citizen is not for her. Surviving as a prostitute, she hopes to someday leave the sexually taboo world behind. When her primary customer, the vicious Mayor Elka Weinhauer, begins to hurt her friends, Kitty discovers the mayor's actions could not only threaten the lives of those she loves, but the American empire itself.

About the author

I am an author, poet, composer and artist. I've been writing since 1998 as far as books are concerned but have been writing various pieces since I could start writing. As a writer, I look at the world and see so much that hasn't been explored or discussed. Writing is my way of bringing those untouched, unseen and unheard stories to light. Each author has their own style and perspective. Each story they tell has its own flavor. As an independent author, I believe I am the unseen painting waiting for the world to view its artistic symmetry. I am the unheard song waiting for someone to hear its touching melody. I am the hard-to-explain emotion that someone is longing to express. May you hear the orchestration, witness the artistry and feel the emotion which words do little justice. My stories give my view on a number of issues and I hope the world appreciates my contribution. My goal is to enlighten and inspire and to do my part to leave this world a little better than it was when I inherited it.
