of Eaton Literary Agency's Annual Awards Program,
2013 As
an austerity measure to reduce expenses during tough economic times, the
President cut six cabinet-level positions and eliminated six entire
agencies from the Federal government. These reductions help, but the cuts
backfire. The welfare kings and queens shout. "Now there's more money
for us!" and a movement erupted with hundreds of thousands applying
and getting increased welfare benefits. Reeling from the increased
expenditures, the Federal government plunges toward financial default. A
Texas-style brawl breaks out on the floor of the U.S. Senate. Fed up with
being compelled to fund such programs, the states of Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Utah and Idaho make the
radical decision to secede. Rallying together, these nine states form their
own union - a sovereign coalition separate from the United States. The
novel includes double dealings, attempted murder, high-tech communications,
romance, intrigue and is loaded with action. Available
at bookstores, Amazon.com, and online. _______________________________________________________________________ ROSE'S
