Bold. Timely. Inspired by Truth.
Explore the real-life political chaos that sparked the gripping thriller Reviving the Statue of Freedom by G.H. White.
The Real-World Politics That Inspired Reviving the Statue of Freedom
In a time when real-world headlines feel more like fiction, it’s no surprise that political thrillers are surging in popularity. But what makes politics such a powerful backdrop for fiction? It’s the perfect storm of power, corruption, ambition, and the rare courage to do what’s right — and that’s exactly where Reviving the Statue of Freedom begins.
The Idea Behind Senator Marilyn Von Maur (“Coyote”)
Senator Marilyn Von Maur wasn’t born from fantasy—she’s a composite of everything righteous that’s still left in politics. The nickname “Coyote” speaks to her cunning, resilience, and refusal to be trapped by the systems she operates within.
As a genetically refined strategist of moral code, Von Maur walks the line between diplomacy and disruption. She’s not just a character—she’s a warning and a possibility, reminding readers that real change comes from those who stay in the fight long after others give up.
Real Political Events That Influenced the Plot
Reviving the Statue of Freedom doesn’t exist in a vacuum—it draws from the shadows of real-world power plays. The story is rooted in whispers of Continuity of Government (COG) protocols, the kind quietly updated in times of national emergency.
Senator Von Maur’s journey was shaped by past and present moments when power teetered dangerously toward control rather than protection. From classified briefings to post-9/11 contingency plans, the novel echoes actual conversations happening in the halls of Washington.
This isn’t fantasy. It’s fiction built on a scaffolding of inconvenient truth.
Writing a Character with Honor in a Corrupt World
In a genre fueled by conspiracy and betrayal, Senator Marilyn Von Maur stands apart—not because she’s perfect, but because she refuses to surrender her soul for power.
Her moral compass is battered but unbroken. Every choice she makes—every delay, every risk—is a reflection of the cost of staying true to principle in a system built to punish it.
Writing Von Maur wasn’t about creating a hero. It was about asking the hard question: Can integrity survive when corruption is the norm? This character became the answer.
