Sometimes fiction writers are part psychic.

For those who don't know, when I'm not posting BB updates I'm a writer. Way back in 2010 I entered a novel of mine ("Sara X") in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards. That novel starts out with a female candidate for President who falls ill and is forced to withdraw from the race and she's replaced by a Senator with a big old skeleton in his closet that ultimately leads to all kinds of complications. 

As anyone who's been awake for the past week knows, Hillary Clinton, our current female candidate for President, is having a few health issues. Supposedly these are just minor hiccups and nothing serious, but whenever someone collapses on a sidewalk, it looks pretty serious, and there are countless rumors of more pressing health issues. 

A fellow writer who I met through the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards named Nick Harlow wrote a novel ("End Game") four years ago about a reality show celebrity who ended up running for President. We now have Donald Trump, host of "The Apprentice" running for President.

As fate would have it, our two books have now found themselves featured in a political thriller Story Bundle from now until the election. Did we somehow predict the future with our books? Do the other books in the bundle also predict the future? I would encourage everyone to buy the bundle and see for yourselves. It's really a bargain in that you get two Allen Drury novels that typically sell for $17 (or so)  on their own, and an additional eight books all for $15. 

You can pay more if you'd like. I'd recommend paying a hundred or a thousand dollars per bundle, but that's just me. People are paying as much as $250,000 to attend a diner with Hillary Clinton that won't last nearly as long as reading the books, and in all honesty wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable. You don't even have to get all dressed up in formal clothes, rent a limo, go through security checkpoints, and be frisked to read our books. (If you really want to be frisked and happen to be in the area, we'll oblige, but it's not necessary.) If an hour or two dinner consisting of mass produced food in the presence of people of somewhat questionable morals is worth $250,000, our novels written over years and honed to the nth degree must be worth that much or more. Who knows? In one of our novels, which are now appearing unnervingly prescient, may lay the answer to where the country goes from here. Information like that might be able to help you invest as little as $1000 in cattle futures and have it turn into $100,000 in just ten months time. (Ha! As if anyone could actually do that!)

Here's a link to the bundle if you're intrigued and want to learn what else our potentially psychic writers disclosed in their works. Political Thriller Story Bundle
