National Parks finally here!
Finally, my National Parks novel is available to all fans of dystopian, satirical send-ups of the beltway culture. Hard to imagine since Donny T. Rump's ascendancy has almost single-handedly killed satire. Nevertheless, for the astonishingly low price of $2.99 (breaks down to .05 cents per belly laugh, .025 cents per guffaw, and .02 cents per snicker) the eBook can be found on amazon
Here's more information about the book:
In the near future, the San Andreas Fault ruptures, sending Los Angeles beneath the Pacific Ocean, the Midwest is gripped by famine, and massive gates keep the Potomac River from flooding the Capitol. Congress, through gridlock, inactivity, and disastrous economic policies, has brought the nation to the brink of bankruptcy. As a way to generate enough money to avoid default, Congress plans to sell the national parks to the highest bidders. Three strong women intend to stop them.
This is a delicious satirical send-up of the beltway culture, a paean to our national parks, and an exposition of characters, hilarious, irritating, and very human, who struggle in the Washington web. The author predicts how new inventions will affect our future lives and mixes noble and base characters in a froth of comic conflict.
There are a lobbyist with a secret toe fetish, a computer genius who creates an x-rated video avatar game, a Chinese gangster looking for respectability, an industrialist intending to dam the Grand Canyon and sell high-priced water to California, corrupt legislators, and, of course, lusty heroines, birth, death, and betrayal . In other words, business as usual.
