As I crafted The Founders’ Speech to a Nation in Crisis, I imagined the readers as an audience, standing in the back of a town hall meeting, or sitting in a church pew listening intently as The Founders’ Speech was delivered. I pictured “Scribe,” as I eventually called him, at the front of the church, narrating the Founders’ words with passion, as though speaking them for the first time.

Next, I considered what the Founders would actually say to America today, and how they would choose their words from contemporary speeches and letters of the day. I began developing a prologue that chronicles a current day fictionalized reunion of America’s Founding Fathers at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. This is where the book begins, with the Founders assembling once again to take up their pen and save the country they love.

Their resulting work is not only a speech to America in ten themed chapters, but it is also a celebration of America’s founding principles, a primer on the Constitution, and a clarion call to reclaim our country, once again, from the outstretched arms of tyranny.
