A Woman’s War on Washington
by Maureen Mylander.
A U.S. Senator who wants to be President meets his match when he picks a fight with freshman Senator Margaret K. “Maggie” Malone. He wants to destroy democracy, starting with the first rule of autocrats: divide the populace.
In NEXT, a reality-based novel, Senator Maggie wants to save democracy with her Civics 101 Bill that raises questions most politicians avoid:
- What if civics education transformed all of US, young to old, into better citizens?
- What if we held a national election holiday and every eligible one of US voted?
- What if a return to universal military or, something new, optional national civilian service helped reunite US?
- What if term limits, starting with the U.S. Congress, allowed more non-politicians to write laws free from the dictates of BIG MONEY?
Cycling Across America and the Male/Female Relationship
by Maureen Mylander and George Mayer Sellinger
Almost Roadkill opens the experience of cycling cross country with a support vehicle to anybody of any age and reasonable level of fitness. Not for elite cyclists, the book aims at those who aspire–perhaps for the first time–to get off the couch and ride the shortest, flattest, easiest route out there.
Part how-to, part relationship odyssey, part travel memoir, Almost Roadkill takes the unique worms-eye viewpoint of the lowly sagwagon (support and gear) driver.
Interspersed with tips about training, scouting routes, navigating cities, meeting (and hopefully beating) mileage goals, and following Bikeman’s Eight-Part Plan, are 28 BOX SEATs. These dialog boxes eavesdrop on his/her exchanges about everything from map reading to channel flipping, cell phone etiquette, and proper hydration.
Engaging visual design and photos complete this 206-page portrait of the U.S. Southern Tier, its border-hugging roads, rolling scenery, infinite variety of overnight accommodations and cuisine, and always-gracious people.
