A President’s Day Celebration of Political Fiction

Are you a fan of American politics? Do you follow the campaigns and news closely? Do you find yourself reaching for the political fiction books in the suspense and thriller section? Or do you just enjoy stories set in and around Washington, DC, the gladiatorial ring of American power?

On President’s Day, we celebrate the men (so far) who have served as our Commanders-in-Chief. Some were great leaders in times of immense consequence. Others were utter disappointments in their time and history has been no kinder.

This President’s Day, I have three treats for your, fellow political ficiton fans.

Treat #2 – Bull Moose Book 1 Preview: President Warner

I wanted to introduce you to a future President of the United States – the 49th President to be exact. You might remember Senator Russell Warner as one of the leads in The Senate Deception. His campaign for the presidency was successful, and by the start of What It Takes to Kill a Bull Moose, he’s running for reelection as President.
