Rabbletown: Life in These United Christian States of Holy America

This work continues to be popular:

Reviewer: "Not since George Orwell's 1984 have we had such a chilling look at what the future could be." Rabbletown: Life in These United Christian States of Holy America.

Way back in 1988 Pat Robertson ran for president and it scared the bejesus out of me. The whole religious right still terrifies me. I've always said that if fascism comes to America it will be through the pulpit. The year 1984 had passed with all its references to George Orwell's book and it got me wondering if in the future the religious right won the day what would America look like in 2084? Abortion would not only be a capital offense, pregnancy would be mandatory for married women of child-bearing age. I started the story from the viewpoint of a mason working on the cathedral project for the Pastor Governor of the Great Christian State of Kansas. The book came into shape creating a boy with a remarkable memory for Bible verses.

Glad To See Ted Cruz Out Of The Picture, But The Self-Sanctimonious Jerk Was Useful To Me

Ted Cruz scared me more than Donald Trump, so I'm glad to see Cruz is out of the POTUS picture. However, Rabbletown: Life in These United Christian States of Holy America is all about the danger if the religious right really gained political control of America. So a little photoshop work by my friend and KC photographer Dave Kaup gave me a new cover to use to promote Rabbletown.

It was fairly successful. At one point Rabbletown reached No. 35 in its subcategory and overall the highest ranked book I've ever had.

The Reality of Rabbletown is Getting Closer

Folks. You just can't believe it. This guy, Todd Akin, talking about legitimate rape really could be the US Senator from Missouri. Do please go find the dystopian novel "Rabbletown: Life in These United Christian States of Holy America" and see where these right-wing, religious nut cases are taking us.
