title: Long Live the King: Book One of the Charlemagne Saga (Volume 1)
author:  Guy Cote 
description: Guy Cote spent his formative years in Sanford, Maine pretending to be an adventurer and marching up and down Main Street waving an American flag while wearing an army uniform (his youthful response to the Iranian Hostage Crisis). As his body grew and his maturity followed, Guy played sports and emulated fictional characters he saw on the silver screen. He eventually tired of living vicariously through other peoples creations, so he began writing his own screenplays. He completed his first script, The Magic of a Lifetime, shortly before graduating from The University of Maine. With a script and a freshly minted Bachelors Degree in hand, Guy moved to Florida to work in the Sunshine States burgeoning film industry. In the process, he wrote five more screenplays: Tried and True (currently in pre-production to become a feature film), G.I. Joe: The Making of a Hero, The Paper Trail, Soulmate and The Widowmaker. Guys fascination with other times and other places eventually drew him back into academia where he earned his Masters Degree in history from The University of South Florida. Thereafter, he took a teaching position in a public school and dedicated himself to the creation of his first novel. Long Live the King is the culmination of that effort. It is Guys hope and belief that youll enjoy reading this novel as much as he enjoyed crafting it and he looks forward to the two of you meeting again in the sequel. Like most authors, Guy relishes feedback from his readers. Feel free to visit and leave him a message at www.guycotebooks.com. See you there
