The Smell of Truthiness by N.G. Carlson

After about eight years of rewrites and a conversion from a screenplay my book is finished.  Originally titled The Singing Volcano the book describes events during 2028 US Presidential Election, widely regarded as the least important election of the 21st Century. 

Former high school classmates from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, now candidates for National Office are reunited and given the opportunity to change the world.  The book The Smell of Truthiness is available from Amazon.

The video below provides a guide for my dream cast for the work as a screen play.  I borrowed the speech patterns of Nathan Lane for President Gene Alidy.

Several songs referred to in the book add some depth to the reading experience.

• Great Gig in the Sky - Pink Floyd - Clare Tory singing
• Cold As Ice - Foreigner
• The Future Soon - Jonathan Coulton 
• Baby It's Cold Outside - Dean Martin
