From the Author
In early 1993 as I finished our first novel, On The Edge, my wifetold me that I should next write a novel about the government. As a real estate guy who had never expected to write a short story, much less a novel, this seemed daunting...But she had been the inspiration behind the first novel, so I prayed and thought...
Our family was stranded by the Blizzard of '93 in the North Caorlina mountains, and that's where the story first developed to write about a President beset by many domestic probems and international terrorists, with the various strands of the plot woven together through his interaction with his family and grown siblings.
Over the next year I prayed and wrote and researched and prayed some more...There is an old adage to write about what you know...I spent several years in the Navy as a Communications Officer on a guided missile frigate, so I put the President's younger brother on a similar ship...I have a cousin who spent his life building nuclear bombs for our government, and he gave me excellent background information for the terrorists' bomb...my sistert-in-law is a nurse who helped me with the hospital parts for one of the President's sisters.
The novel was finished in late '94, and then Multnomah selected it to publish and we began editing. The hardback edition came out in mid '95, and it's uncanny how many of the issues we wove into the story have become even more in the public square today...
Multnomah decided to bring out a softcover edition in the fall of '98, I think because they thought a story about a President who struggles with and overcomes evil might be excellent timing with today's current events.
I hope that you enjoy reading the novel and that it challenges you to think about our governmnent's policies, as well as the very foundations for our government. That is one of the wonderful powers of fiction...to bring dry policies and their consequences to full life!
After several years of commuting from Atlanta to Moscow to do commercial real estate there...many chapters of both novels were written on airplanes and in hotels...I'm now back home in Atlanta focused on Southeastern real estate and praying about a third novel.
If you have any questions or comments, I will be glad to try to respond to your Email note....God bless you.
