THE NEXT PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BE A WOMAN... Catherine Young, Vice
President and newly-anointed Democratic nominee, is surging in the
polls. The race is on against GOP candidate Jerusha Hutchins,
folksy charmer and blonde beauty, who is the darling of the
far-right Liberty Party. Jerusha is married to a powerful
televangelist minister and has a lot of support. But with political
wunderkind Zane Zarillo running her campaign, Catherine is bound to
hold her lead. Suddenly a medical emergency puts the President in
the hospital and forces Catherine to act in his place... a perfect
opportunity for her to show her Oval Office stuff. Just when her
election looks like a sure thing, Catherine's romantic fling from
decades ago comes to light. Will the American public accept a woman
with a past? Blackmail, a cat-and-mouse chase through the streets
of D.C., and a hostage crisis bring the new and old media circus to
a frenzy as sexual politics and racial tension collide in this
sizzling campaign season thriller. Amazon Kindle bestseller in
political fiction. 50,000+ copies downloaded to date 5.5 out of 5
stars - Top Pick Underground Book Reviews What Amazon readers are
saying: I picked up RUNNING on Saturday evening and put it down on
Sunday at 8:15pm... what a ride From the strong female lead to the
charmer turned villain, the political intrigue and the romantic
longing for what might have been, I was riveted to my Kindle.
Trying to concentrate on some gardening I found my mind returning
to the book and gave up on the roses to head back to the
wonderfully rich world that Ms. Fitzgerald has created. (My boys
had to make their own dinner but the dog and cat did get fed ) ...
RUNNING had me up till the wee hours of the morning And, when I was
not reading it, I was thinking about the characters. This book is
at times funny, heartbreaking, and suspenseful. ... writing, pace,
and storyline were so good that I found myself putting off other
things so I could keep reading. ... it grabbed me and didn't let
go. With a fast-paced plot and an unerring feel for the cinematic,
Fitzgerald creates a thriller that will resonate not just with
political junkies like myself, but the suspense-thriller reader as
well. ... Fitzgerald did a superb job with the different points of
view. The voices were powerful and distinct. Catherine grew as a
woman, a mother, a candidate and an individual, and the blackmailer
(I don't want to give too much away) rapidly spiraled, causing the
reader to both hate and pity him while looking upon him with
absolute disgust. ... Several times, all I could do was shake my
head at the truth behind the scenes. ... Mark my words: Patrice
Fitzgerald has a bestseller in the making I read the whole novel in
one sitting, it was that good. ... This story is crying out for a
movie adaptation, you'll mentally be casting it as you read It
breezily moves along the way to a thrilling conclusion, with never
a dull moment. ... This is a great piece of writing that belongs on
every bestseller list in the country. ... Can't believe this is a
first novel... ... I loved this book from the very beginning ...
Just when you thought you knew where the story was going it
surprised you. ... Terrific plot - I had to keep turning the pages
(metaphorically speaking). The characters were intriguing and I had
no idea how it would end - always a good thing when you're reading
for escape Looking forward to the next one. ... A stunning suspense
novel ... You will not be sorry to purchase this -- it's a great
read.
