The Naked President
The Naked President is a tongue in cheek political/social comedy about the remarkable and eccentric Cartmel family. It weaves together the lives of the richest man in the world, an irrational socialist activist, and a gentle philosopher, who is venerated by a fearsome West Coast motorcycle gang.
After the Second World War and a personal tragedy, handsome and heroic fighter pilot Captain Roger Cartmel, deserts England and moves to the USA. He travels through Wyoming, Maryland, Texas, and California siring children along the way. He is a the war hero, turned Anglian Vicar, turned bigamist, and classic English cad who fathers three extraordinary offsprings.
Roger is also furious at God and determined to prove God’s existence so everyone else can be angry at Him (or Her or It or Whatever.) But sidetracked by sex, he is unwitting part of a greater plan that brings together characters who form the personality of a glamorous future US President.
You will meet Larry and Winona, a young couple brought together by fate and a dog. Yes! If you are a dog lover there is a remarkable dog in this story and a lot of doughnuts mostly because I like doughnuts. (By the way, Winona is ‘drop dead gorgeous’ and likes to wear as few clothes as possible, if any.)
Larry and Winona marry and are plucked from obscurity to ‘have greatness thrust upon them.’ They become the most amazing people in the world.
The story also has an Artificial Intelligence that develops a crush on Larry and a completely deranged Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
So, if you are tired of depressing flesh eating Zombie stories The Naked President, is for you!
Hope you enjoy it.

An engaging short read, about 3 hours beside the pool. Written mainly from a first person perspective in short sentences.
A non-family created by one man as he travels across the world finally focuses back on one person a naturist who others want to be President of the USA.
Throw in some Native American and Eastern philosophy, a pyramid and a biker gang treat everything with a few coats of Panglossian gloss ... Yes I liked it.

A lot of ancient wisdom and recent knowledge blended together
The story starts off strangely with a lot of expository writing. I stuck through that and was rewarded with a very interesting tale. I like fit and expect that you will, too.
