The Independent

A perfect thriller-ride for the political times we live in

The Washington Monument reflecting on the water with a purple sky.

Jack Sanborn has Been Chosen

In 2044, America is on the brink—its government locked in a merciless, endless shutdown. The nation’s economy is in free fall. With no hope of compromise, the silent majority finally reaches its tipping point.

When Jack Sanborn, a UNC Law professor, utters a dangerous idea in a crowded lecture hall, it sparks what feels like a revolution. Split the two-party monopoly and give democracy back to the people. Soon after a student video of his talk smashes viral records, Sanborn finds himself willed by the people to make an improbable run for the presidency.

He quickly enters a viper’s den of attack dog journalists, enigmatic billionaires, vengeful ex-clients and crooked politicians, led by House Speaker Clay Overton, a Dark Lord of politics who has something on everyone, including Jack—and is ready to unleash hell to achieve his ultimate ambition.

Word of warning: the excerpts you will receive here won’t spoil anything if you haven’t read The Independent, but they won’t make much sense either. I highly recommend the full novel as the entree, followed by the excerpts for dessert.

The midnight buffet will be a teaser for BOOK TWO of The Independent – but as a working Dad, timing for that midnight buffet is subject to change!

Happy reading!
