A gentle (I hope) really bad poem with a politically pertinent (I hope again) question. The future, such as it may be, needs a move away from kneejerk political irrationalities of the past. I wish not to offend only to prod forward.

Summary:

"We Own The President" (set a few years in future; 116,000 words) Why it’s unique: father-daughter buddy story meets 007-type thriller... Harry Evans works for secret government agencies, sees himself as the last line of defense against the evil people in the world. He’s good at it. Kate Evans, studying for an MBA at Wharton, is contemptuous of her father and has as little to do with him as possible. After all, he’s nothing but a killer... Readers get a big swirling thriller--mad-genius twins try to "own the President"--plus entertaining inter-generational conflict. Harry Evans, daughter Kate, and her friend Carmen are increasingly in the center of the vortex, not sure what is real or where their loyalties should be. The country is coming apart. President Simpson declares war on Mexico, and hints at worst. Kate and Harry, alone against the world, start to function as partners -- but don’t try to tell Kate that. The question is, can these two alphas stop squabbling long enough to save the country from a conspiracy to seize control of the president and to accomplish this in a way that conceals what has happened. Any feedback is welcome.

NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD, OUTDATED VERSION OF THIS NOVEL. PLEASE SEE THE 2012 VERSION I'M ENTERING FOR THE STRONGEST START CONTEST. STORYLINE: There is a new store in town. It's the first store ever to sell hope over the counter. With record unemployment, home foreclosures, and cluster suicides -- the store couldn't open at a better time. Luke Nagano is the inventor of The Hope Store. Jada Upshaw is one of his first customers. Amidst a deluge of seekers and cynics, scientists and naysayers -- a cynical journalist sets out to infiltrate the store. He wants to discover if The Hope Store is a scientific breakthrough, or a brazen scam to profit off the hopeless. On top of this, the store's investors give Luke just six months to turn a profit. But Luke has some ideas of his own to ensure that his dream store flourishes. A magic-realist tale set in the new millennium where anything can -- and often does -- happen.
