{"product_id":"9781493183913","title":"CHOU: THE LOST EMPIRE","description":"I have always had a definitive love for ancient time periods. I have written many short stories of long ago, some became prize winners in high school.  I have a long history of love for Asian women. I think they are very mysterious as well as loving and loyal, that is why I had chosen ancient China before it was called anything as a backdrop for this story.   If you are really intent on knowing me, then read my stories. They tell a lot if not most things about me. I didn’t have the greatest childhood in the world, but it was good to certain point. I was left alone much of the time, that is how I developed my love for the long ago. I have always been a dreamer and can’t see that changing any time soon. Although I live in reality, I have and active dream state. I had found a way to combine the both to become my reality by incorporating them in my everyday life. I find it fits me well.   I love movies of ancient times. A few of my favorites are Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, and the Passion of the Christ. I haven’t always been a man of deep Christian beliefs.   When I was young, I have a few minor scrapes with others getting into fights, but that changed when I was thirteen, that was when I came to Christ, and it has forever changed me.   Since then, I have had very little trouble with anyone, chasing to stay out of harms way until I am needed.   I do hope you find this story enlightening","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144964325616,"sku":"9781493183913","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781493183913_p0.jpg?v=1763663801","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781493183913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
