Step-by-step projects demonstrate a range of beautiful styles and techniques.
Madame President
This is a story about a woman who runs for President of the United States. It involves international intrigue, alliances with Canada, a contest with the sitting President over whether to enter into a skirmish in an Eastern European country, and a former lover who ends up running against her. There is time spent in New York State on the campaign trail, debates with political rivals, a conflict against the possiblilty of an Arab alliance with a Central American country, dealing with oil exploitation in the Yukon, interplay with the campaign commitee, and encounters with the press, as well as an attempt on her life. The plot is high concept with dense plotting, but with light moments such as sexual interludes and one slapstick party scene involving a prime minister, a couple of senators, and a reporter. The writing is in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive internal monologue, with a compelling love story and a personal encounter with the abortion issue.
No Girls Allowed
This is the first book of a trilogy in which Angela Bishop takes up the lifelong ambition of her idealistic, over-achieving twin brother, who was killed in Vietnam. Throughout the story she wrestles with an overwhelming sense of destiny as she struggles against an adversarial former lover, gets caught up in a Vietnam protest movement, falls in love with a draft dodger, and finally winds up on the national political scene.The central theme revolves around a young co-ed who suddenly finds herself required to deal with a high calling and the sacrifice it demands. Vietnam and politics are used as a framework to portray the heroin's struggle to become self-actualized, coming out from under the shadow of her brother.Written in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive, internal monologue, the book expresses a sense of destiny that many people believe they have and who would enjoy reading about someone who begins to experience its fulfillment.
We've Seen the Enemy
An alien ship crashes on Earth; its contents make it clear that the dead ant-like aliens inside were on an offensive mission. As humanity is presented with the prospect of their doomed world, construction begins on hundreds of World Federation ships and extrasolar defense weapons to be used in the inevitable war. We’ve Seen The Enemy is set 700 years after the Great War and is a desperate race by a suicide team that may finally lead to the end of this interstellar war. Meanwhile, pockets of left-over human tribes on Earth have their own struggles, as they face power-hungry dictators and warped religious leaders. Behind all this are multiple alien forces, each with their own agenda. As truths turn into lies and friends become enemies, can humanity unite together to fight their common enemy?
The Thoroughbreds of Persimmon County
Thoroughbreds is the second book of the Angela Bishop trilogy, where she continues to take up the lifelong ambition of her idealistic twin brother, who was killed in Vietnam. Throughout the story she wrestles with an overwhelming sense of destiny as she struggles against Otto Schroeder, falls in love with a draft dodger and winds up on the state political scene. Angela decides to run for political office, partly so she can oppose Otto's plan, who among other things, is trying to push a bill to stop President Carter's mandate to give amnesty to draft dodgers.As with the rest of the trilogy, Thoroughbreds is written in the tradition of a carefully detailed plot, drawn out sparingly in a sensitive, internal monologue. The book expresses a sense of destiny that many people have, and who would enjoy reading about someone who begins to experience its fulfillment.Although this book stands alone outside the trilogy, characters from the other two books live in this story, and oh yes'¦a few horses.
