Negative Peace, my third novel, is now available in the Shop!

All he wanted was to create world peace. Negative Peace would have to do. Positive Peace - the presence of Justice and respect for human dignity, would just have to wait.

Was ending war a bit ambitious? Of course it was. Was it worth trying? Certainly. To succeed, Joshua Sheehan, the first United States president from Maine, would have to be bold, decisive, and trustworthy. Trustworthy, that most elusive trait. He would have to throw some curling stones with the Chinese president, too.

From architectural school to the mayor's office in Bucksport, Maine, where he faced down the book-banning Moms for Freedom, to the governor's mansion, to the White House, Joshua had decisions to make. Would he make the right ones?
