Will You Run for President?

WORKING NAME

Project President

GENRE

Political fiction, Romance.

LOGLINE

Will a 33-year-old wigged candidate run for President?

SYNOPSIS

Luke Daniels has the talent and resume that could qualify him for President of the United States. He is a West Point graduate, has worked as a general’s aide, and has become a successful professor at the University of Connecticut. He has the contacts and speaking ability to make him a legitimate threat to the political parties, as a handsome and intelligent history buff who knows many flukes in the political process. However, neither he, nor his wife, Savannah, are interested in the White House.
   As a professor, he wears a white wig during his lectures. The publicity stunt works as the perfect motivator for his students studying American political history.
   Luke’s enthusiasm inadvertently inspires his students to try to make him a candidate for President. A surprise campaign rally pressures him to fly to Iowa and to learn more about the Iowa caucus system—the first step in becoming President. The folks in Iowa teach him how he could defeat President Bush, with a last-minute announcement. But can he win as a 33-year-old candidate, when the Constitution seems to make him ineligible to run for President of the United States?

Terror Within

GENRE

Science fiction.

LOGLINE

If the government can't stop the "terrorists," can they at least stop the terror?

SYNOPSIS

Gabe is a 65-year-old retired reporter for a small weekly newspaper in Annapolis. Nate is a young Wall Street research analyst. Rita is a geneticist at a small biotech firm analyzing fish D.N.A. Harland works in the Pentagon, reviewing nearly abandoned 30-year-old files. Sandra leads a government watchdog group, spending most of her time researching wasteful spending. Why would the government chase after a group of complete strangers?
   Eventually, the research effort for a story about retirement planning triggers warning lights to flash in the hidden offices of the Homeland Security Agency. Soon, someone tries to kill Harland, leading the group to flee for their lives. Labeled as bio-terrorists, they are wanted dead or alive. But why?
Unbeknownst to them, they possess information about a top secret program rooted in the history of the Marshall Islands——information that could alter the future of mankind. In time, they learn the answers to secrets about questions they did not previously know to ask.
   Can people become biological terrorists, and not even know it? Can strangers become co-conspirators, without ever holding ill thoughts towards the United States government?
   As Nate, Sandra, Harland, Rita, and Gabe make their run, Homeland Security agents realize they can't catch them from spreading the coded information in Project M.I.X.——the government's most secret program. If the Agency can't stop the "terrorists," can they at least stop the terror?

Shakergate

WORKING NAME

Project Shakergate

GENRE

Political fiction.

LOGLINE

Print the truth and raise hell.

SYNOPSIS

Shakergate, Maryland was designed in 1893 as a “planned community,” bordering Washington, D.C. Railroad racks divided the lower, middle, and upper classes into segregated neighborhoods. When only Wasps lived in Shakergate, it was America’s wealthiest town —— so powerful it rerouted a highway.
   In 2024, Shakergate is mostly Black and Jewish, ruled by liberal, Democratic women who welcome any person regardless of “her or his” background. The schools embrace voluntary busing, a gay pig represents equality, and the United States Constitution is "modernized."
   A conservative newspaper editor moves into Shakergate to “print the truth and raise hell.” He discovers unspoken secrets: Bodies are missing from a cemetery, bureaucracy barriers exclude Blacks, and a young girl’s murder remains unsolved despite rumors that a ghost searches for a buried knife. The editor runs for mayor, promising to knock on every door —— from the poorest to the richest. People begin to reveal their secrets, even though . . . Big Sister is watching.
