Danika Cahill, is running for U.S. Senator from Washington State in the year 2020. Like Harry Truman, Danika speaks plainly and with none of the usual politician's double speak the public is used to hearing. She wants to tax the rich, reduce the military, and give medical care to everyone. The very ideas that may very will cause her trouble once in Washington D.C. Danika knows it and is prepared to fight for what she believes in. Sam McGibbon has been her body guard, on loan from the Washington State Patrol, during her campaign. After saving her life, Danika asks Sam to join her in D.C. to watch her back while she tends to her senator's duties and keep track of the political issues that define her term as senator. Together they head to Washington D.C. to change the landscape of the country's politics. Conrad Jansen, senior Republican senator and main opposition to Senator Cahill's political agenda, has other ideas. Ideas that can cause Danika harm if she doesn't heed his warnings. He'll stop at nothing to maintain his control on Washington. From made up stories of her divorce leaked to the press, to the attempts on her life, to break-ins, car crashes, and office bugging. It's a busy time for the senator and Sam in D.C. Not to mention an assassination attempt in her own state. Nothing says welcome home to Seattle like an attempt on your life.

The first Madam President will be sworn in sooner than most people think. But the gender gap in politics is still shockingly broad, say two of America's most readable political commentators in this timely look at the nation's sputtering efforts to envision a woman in America's top job.(The Boston Globe ). Charting the transformation of women's power in American politics from the first female presidential candidate (Victoria Woodhull in 1872) to the shattered presidential hopes of Shirley Chisholm and Elizabeth Dole, Madam President presents tales of passion, determination, set-backs, and triumph from nearly all national women politicians and most leading state politicians in the pipeline. With insight garnered from years on the Washington political scene and candid interviews with leading politicians like Christine Todd Whitman and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Clift and Brazaitis explain why the barriers to women are still formidable: There are only 3 female governors (one of the best routes to the White House) and at the current rate it will take 250 years before there are as many women Senators and Representatives as men. A forward-looking, savvy analysis of women in politics, Madam President gives the first inside look at how America's female politicians got there, stayed there, and what it will take for them to make it to the presidency.

As the turbulent Kennedy administration begins, Alexandra Zsófia Bel, a congressional staffer with a suspicious past, investigates the murder of a State Department lawyer despite risks to her own life. Alex has changed her last name to Bell, her hair color to blond, and her life story to middle-class American to get a job in government. She had hoped to keep her personal history a secret in her new life in Washington, but she risks exposure to catch a murderer before J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI catches her first. Alex finds the corruption in the nation’s capital stinks like the sewage-laden Potomac River. She, along with her little dog Miss Bea, a cynical beagle and Jack Russell mix, follow the scent, and she also has to use new Washington contacts as well as her family’s connections to find the killer and reveal a conspiracy. This novel is the first of a planned series featuring Alex Bell that will be set in the volatile decade of the 1960s.
