Tomorrow I will receive the proof copy of the Padre Paranoia. The cover, at least in the electronic version, turned out well. Those who have read the early drafts have proclaimed this the best yet. I can’t speak to that, but I can report that every reader has commented that it is a page-turner.
In the world of homeland security, the individual, at times, becomes secondary to the security of the country. This is especially true when the President’s life, or the life of other Heads of State, are threatened. At such times the life of any one person, no matter how close a relationship exists with that person, is, subservient to the greater good.
In the Padre Paranoia Jimmy is forced to deal with conflicting emotions as he struggles to put the pieces in their proper order. Just when he believes he has the pieces lined up a new fact emerges, causing him to reset his thinking. All the while, a time clock is ticking in the background, but its significance is not well understood—even by Jimmy.
If all goes according to plan, my plan that is, the Padre Paranoia will be pre-released in early July.
