Stephen E Buge - Intro

I’ve finally decided to start a blog — yes, I know, about fifteen years after everyone else. The blogging era came and went, the chairs were stacked, and the lights were turned off, and here’s me strolling in like, “Hi everyone, did I miss anything?”

Too late? Probably. Too stubborn to care? Absolutely.

My debut novel, Order of Succession, is about to launch — the first in a four‑book saga about JC Page, heiress, empire‑builder, and woman who treats media acquisitions like impulse buys. She sells three newspapers, buys a cable network, and before you can say “too much, too soon?” she’s running an international hotel chain, and a Hollywood movie studio as well. JC makes world domination look like a side hustle.

Her inner circle are equally outrageous: Shayla Bedford‑Jones, ex‑supermodel turned editor of Niche, JCs flagship magazine, who can fix your outfit, and your editorial strategy before breakfast, and Donna Franks, PR Queen who could spin a scandal into a charity gala before lunch.

This blog will be part JC Page universe, part behind‑the‑scenes chaos, and part whatever random thought ambushes me mid‑coffee. So, thank you for joining the mental rollercoaster and welcome aboard. If I’m not doing this right, at lease I can say that I’m doing it with enthusiasm.
