The Book Launch

There is big news today, faithful readers. I am launching my new book - a novel, my first novel, in fact: The Ideal Candidate.

I will quote from the back cover:

"Local politics in the suburban city of Newhazel is gridlocked after decades of domination by a powerful octogenarian female Mayor. Nat Drennan, an idealistic young businessman, wants in and determines the best place to start is at the very bottom - by running for school board trustee.

What he doesn't know is that his opponent, a long-time incumbent, is a puppet of an organized crime family that has long been getting rich by maniuplating school board contracts. The family is not about to let its schemes be upset by the young upstart. But there are others with eyes on the school board money as well.

The danger and violence escalate while Nat and the voting public remain blissfully unaware of the storm in which he is caught - between two mobs, a shadowy arm of the Mayor's municipal government, and a gangster rapper and his entourage.

With cutting political satire, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and a cast of true to life characters, The Ideal Candidate is a remarkable funny reminder that all politics is local."

Nifty, eh? You can take a look at it here.
