November Third
It began with "The Gatekeepers of Democracy," the novel that defined the genre of "election officer fiction." Now author Bill Lewers continues the story with "November Third." Just a few short months have elapsed since that cold day in January when Carl Marsden and Cindy Phelps teamed up at the Chesterbrook precinct but much has changed. Carl has joined the team of county "rovers," employees whose mission it is to test voting machines and prepare supplies for upcoming elections, as well as support the precincts on Election Day. He jumps into his tasks with his customary zeal but gradually comes to realize that something is terribly wrong, something which if left unchecked will contaminate th...
The Gatekeepers of Democracy
The Gatekeepers of Democracy is the story of an election. But unlike most works of political fiction which concentrate on the candidates and their campaigns, Gatekeepers sees events through the eyes of the unsung heroes of the American political process: the women and men who volunteer to serve as election officers. The holiday season has come to a close and politics could not be further from people's minds. However the citizens of Virginia's 48th state senate district are in for rare treat. A recent resignation has thrown open a state senate seat, a seat that so happens will determine which party will control the legislature. So on Tuesday January 6, citizens will have the opportunity to ch...
Eighteen Days in New York
Journey back in time as author Bill Lewers puts you on the floor of New York's Madison Square Garden in the midst of one of the most remarkable political events in our nation's history! The year is 1924. Claudia Burnham, cub reporter for the Washington Chronicle and alternate delegate for the state of Virginia, is heading to New York City to cover the Democratic National Convention. There, armed with only her charm, wits, and can-do attitude, she must navigate the male-dominated worlds of journalism and politics. Once in New York, she is promoted to full delegate only to discover that advancement and conscience don't always go hand-in-hand. As a reporter she looks on as forces as diverse as ...
A Voter's Journey
A few years ago, I published a book titled Six Decades of Baseball: A Personal Narrative, which described my lifelong passion for baseball, written purely from the perspective of a baseball fan with no inside knowledge of the game. A Voters Journey sets out to do the same thing, only this time with politics. I hope that the telling of my story will encourage the reader to reflect upon his or her own lifelong political journey. For in a society like ours, saturated with politics and elections, each one of us, whether we are politically inclined or not, makes a political journey of some kind or another. This is the story of mine.
Six Decades of Baseball
"...one of the most heart-felt baseball books to come out in the last few months, written not by a journalist with nice advancement but by a simple fan who put up his own money, got it self published, and got himself heard." - Tom Hoffarth, columnist for the Los Angeles Daily News "His take on some of baseballs major events and personalities are refreshingly different from the conventional wisdom of baseball insiders." - Jeffrey Stuart, author of Twilight Teams "...the purest fan memoir Ive yet read...Lewers is...everyfan USA." - Nicholas Croston, Lit Bases website "...Lewers book reminds us why we love the game so much." - Matt ODonnell, Fenway West website "Every fan has his or her memorie...
Primary Peril
First came The Gatekeepers of Democracy, the novel that introduced the genre of "election officer fiction." Then came November Third, which delved even deeper into the world of election administration. Now author Bill Lewers moves the story in exciting new directions with Primary Peril. A mere eleven votes had separated Republican Jennifer Haley and Democrat Emily Weston in their contest to fill a vacancy in Virginia's State Senate. Now, twelve months later, they prepare for a rematch which will award the victor a full four-year term. Before that can occur, however, both must survive challenges in the parties' June primaries. But just as the primary campaigns are heating up, a prominent poli...

When Baseball Was Still Topps
Card by card--all 572 of the '59 Topps set--this book contemplates the lives and times of mid-20th century baseball. That season was in the heart of a period of turmoil: milestones in integration, franchise shifts to the West Coast, a potential rival league, the major leagues' expansion, and labor issues that included paying young prospects not to play. The cards help tell the players' stories, too. The slugger who had a date with Marilyn Monroe (no, not Joe DiMaggio), and the minor leaguer better known than Marilyn. The nephew of a Black Sox player, and the target of a bribery attempt. The lefty catcher. The pitcher from Mayberry. The only player to pinch-hit for Ted Williams. Strikeout kings and wildmen. Religious stalwarts and hell raisers. The stripper's husband. The coolest socks in baseball. Ballplayers who were also basketball players--including the NBA's No. 1 pick one year. Satchel's Six Rules and Twig's Six Rules. Coot, Rip, Turk, Puddin' Head, Whammy, The Rope and Captain Midnight. Pick any card, and you'll find another engaging tale about baseball.
