Out Now: THE TIME IDIOT (Kindle Edition)


My comedic novel THE TIME IDIOT has now been released for the Kindle, at the price of $6.89. (That's cheap, man!)

So what's it about, then?


The basic plot is: Stupid U.S. President gets a time machine, wreaks havoc all over history.
You can read the sample chapters here.
 
I was NOT first with the idea of a dumb President in a time machine. The cartoonist Tom Tomorrow was (at least twice).  But in THE TIME IDIOT, I take the concept to its very limit: the stupid protagonist travels so far back in time, and changes so many things, the "present-day" world eventually becomes a very strange place.

I tried to get THE TIME IDIOT published for several years. My wife said she liked it, so I decided to try and self-publish. All the flaws of the book are my fault. It's not a long novel -- only 48,000 words -- but I think humor works best in the shorter format.
