David Gideon

It's here. It's available. My revised novel about an everyman who happens to become President has now been released. You can check it out here:

David Gideon

We all know that an everyman could never be President; politics will typically destroy men and women of principle and common sense. But David Gideon is about more than that. It's a story of a good man's life, and the interactions and prodding of his closest friends.

I've been told by several people that it's an easy read which tells a compelling tale. I hope so, because that's what I was going by for: a straightforward story of a principled man committed to doing things right and well. The actual political machinations I purposely kept to a minimum precisely because they would be dull. Campaigns are glossed over in part because no sane individual cares about them. The novel is about the man David Gideon, not the politician David Gideon. That man is only incidental to the story.

David is just a guy committed to his family and friends who otherwise wants to be left alone, but is called to something higher. It's a bit Capraesque, and maybe a bit corny. I like to fancy that it appeals to the soul, that little voice inside us who wants things to be right, to be the way they ought to be. I enjoyed his story and I think you would too.

Useful Tools

Yesterday I spoke about my new novel, David Gideon. You can check it out here: David Gideon or at Amazon or you favorite bookseller.

Today I want to talk about how useful of a book it is. For example you can, open your mind to this idea, read it. Yes, you can! It's very readable indeed. But what's more, you really should carry a copy of David Gideon everywhere you go, as it can be helpful in many ways.

Take, for example, when you go out to eat. You know when the hostess seats you at a wobbly table - you always get that table, don't you? - and the rocking drives you crazy? Fear not! David Gideon is precisely the right thickness to level it. Slide a copy under the short leg, or on that low spot on the floor and hey presto, you have a solid, balanced table on which to have an uneventful meal.

David Gideon. For your dining enjoyment.
