This is Historical Fiction. I am going to be making it as accurate as I possibly can, however. Despite my attempts, I can not make this 100% accurate. In September of 1779, John Paul Jones fought one of the fiercest battles in Naval History. He had led the USS Bonhomme Richard frigate, (named for Benjamin Franklin), in an engagement with a 50-gun British Warship known as, "HMS Serapis." And it was there that he uttered his most glorious line, "How can I surrender when I have not yet begun the fight?" I will be retelling this event from John Paul Jones's perspective. History has its eyes on me, and those in the future can remain disappointed.

The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
