Dear Reader,

Thank you for reading to this point. Writers like me are truly privileged to have you as a reader. However, under our current capitalist system, even lowly writers of dime novels are trying to make a penny here or a penny there. If you wish to continue this story, you are asked to visit the links below at Amazon.com and purchase the full novel. Please find links to the novel at the bottom of this and every other page. Much appreciated for your interest. Marshall McArthur.

About this novel.

I started Sophia of Viagra on May 26, 2026. I finished the first draft on June 15, 2026. On June 18th I had open-heart surgery to replace my aortic valve.

I was in the hospital for a week and then at home for a week before I felt the mental energy to proof the book. I finished the final proofs and uploaded it to Kindle on July 10th. If you’ve read this far, I appreciate your support of self-published authors. Most of us don’t have editors, and probably none of us have agents. Also a definite shout out to all of the ICU nurses at Houston Methodist Hospital, Cypress, and to ICU nurses worldwide.lCU nurses are all very special people.

If you have an interest in reading my previous novels, one is available to read for free, titled:

The Tallahassee Civil Rights Story as told by Ms. Jasmine in Black and White.

Another book, which I will admit is kind of weird and you might need some patience to read, is listed below. The novel is pretty niche and not for most people. It’s a satire of studying and teaching Chinese at the university level, although you don’t need to know any Chinese to read it. The book is Kindle only, but only $2.99 of which, of course, Jeff Bezos gets his cut.

Diss Integrated Chinese: A Novel of Teaching and Studying Chinese

Thank you again for supporting me as an author.
