Ebook Thriller "Splitting Washington" Has Tea Party Theme

Online, December 16, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Smashwords ebooks has distributed a new novel by Daniel Koehler to the major ebook channels.

"Splitting Washington" is an offbeat political thriller focusing on sleazy insider politics and the rise of the Redux Party, a fictional grass-roots movement similar to today's Tea Party.

In "Splitting Washington," the President's campaign manager flees Washington D.C. in disgrace and plots to throw a monkey wrench into the coming election to save himself, his mistress, and his family.

J.D. CROWELL is fired as the campaign manager of GOP PRESIDENT ADDISON HUNTINGTON'S reelection campaign after his adulterous liaison with beautiful mixed-race White House staffer, LIBBY CATTON, is leaked to the media.

However, J.D. soon discovers he has been "scapegoated" to cover up information damning to both political parties. Realizing he, Libby, and his family are now in mortal danger, J.D. splits Washington for Texas on a Greyhound bus to remain incognito. The only person he dares contact while en route is BANANA CROWELL, his ex-Marine father. Libby he commends to the protection of campaign security director JIMMY DEVINE, a former Boston cop and ex-IRA operative still loyal to J.D. On the long bus trip home, J.D's guilt for his infidelity plagues him and he vows to rectify the state of his soul. Along the way, he meets third-party Presidential candidate, BELVOIR TUBBS, and together they turn the tables on both major parties.

"A fast-paced political thriller ripped from today's headlines! From Air Force One to bus terminals in flyover country, 'Splitting Washington' is authentic page-turning entertainment! Nonstop excitement from a promising new author who takes us inside today's political culture. I highly recommend 'Splitting Washington.'"

James Lyon, illustrator of "5 Fabulous Business Fables" by A. H. Augenblecq (available from the Apple AppStore).
