A Non-Politician We Can All Believe In
Those that know me, know that I am an avid political follower. That is, I keep a close eye on things and try to read the ebb and flow of a system that I don't think works very well. At the same time, I'm not one of those people who rail on about my views, because quite simply, I believe everyone has the right to their opinion, regardless of whether I agree with it or not.
Where I fall on the political spectrum is somewhere in the middle. I would describe myself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, which basically leaves me more often than not, without a party or candidate to support come election time. This year is no different as I find myself equally disgusted by both parties, the establishment and the candidates themselves. On one side we have a mudslinging contest in which people are more concerned with telling people who NOT to vote for, than actually pushing ideas of their own. On the other, we have a candidate being investigated for a possible felony indictment. All are running for President. Seriously?
Interestingly enough, last summer I released a book called The Greatest Mann in the World--the story of what happens one December morning when Americans wake to find it is snowing in Southern California, sunny and 80 degrees in our nation’s capital, and pitch black in Seattle in the middle of the day. All are the result of a freak tilt in the earth’s axis that is unlikely to correct
itself anytime soon. The resulting environmental shift throws an already weak economy into further disarray during a Presidential election year. Unhappy with both major political parties, a billionaire businessman springs onto the scene and funds a party that will accept nominations for the highest office in the land from any U.S. citizen. All eyes suddenly settle on Yale educated, high school administrator, John Mann. There’s only one problem–he doesn’t want the job.
The book is fiction, with bits of humor, friendship and romance sandwiched around a dose of real frustration over the political system. Written long before the current chaos, the book has become timely, and if you feel as I do, you might enjoy giving it a read. You don't have to enjoy politics to enjoy the book. You simply need to love our country and want better things for it.
It's available in both paperback and Ebook versions.

Everyone has a purpose for writing. Some use it as a release. Others to push a political agenda. Others want to make people laugh. I want to make people smile. To feel a little better after they've re
