A Little About A Fashion of Bastards:
When Lacey Ames arrives in Washington to ‘marry up’ and take a job on Capitol Hill, she looks poised to capture the fast-fading American dream. Her handsome fiance has already hitched their wagon to Vice President Marvin’s rising star, and her new boss, popular Senator George, has given her the assignment of her dreams: to protect the mysteriously dwindling Great Lakes.
From solving a soldier shortage by drafting ‘illegal’ immigrants to selling a private pipeline into Lake Michigan and framing Japan for terrorism, Lacey’s opposition will do absolutely anything to achieve their goals. The question is what will Lacey do to achieve hers? Nothing and no one is spared as A Fashion of Bastards drags current U.S. culture clashes over energy, immigration, gender ethics, warfare and water kicking and screaming to their logical, over-the-top conclusions.
About the Author:
Suburban Chicago native Joanna Louise Johnson writes novels, screenplays, and a blog @ joannalouisejohnson.com entitled “The Love & Laughter Cure for Politics.” Several of Joanna’s dark comedies, including A FASHION OF BASTARDS, were inspired by her adventures–and occasional misadventures–as an environmental lawyer and government relations specialist in Washington, D.C., the Midwest, and Montana.
What People Are Saying About A Fashion of Bastards:
“A Fashion of Bastards is a living example of my own credo: One person’s logic is another person’s humor. Read it and decide for yourself.” ~Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counterculture.
“The author’s corrosive wit and deft handling of the political absurdities of Capitol Hill are but two elements of what makes A Fashion of Bastards a novel which is both humorous and unsettling.” ~Michael Hogan, author of Risky Business, Irish Soldiers of Mexico and Imperfect Geographies.
“The urge to laugh is constant here, but the novel’s baseline of seriousness, especially about international politics and the destruction of the Great Lakes, remains a major chord of apprehension. A Fashion of Bastards is finally a comic romance introducing a new Heroine and her dog, who will hopefully fight another day, in another novel.” ~Robert T. Self, author of Robert Altman’s McCabe & Mrs. Miller: Reframing the American West and Robert Altman’s Subliminal Reality.
