Population: One - Available Now!
A satire about the 2008 presidential election, Population: One tells the story of the well-intentioned, but slightly clueless, Tara Haylin as she sets sail with her parents through the Atlantic en route to the Bermuda Triangle in an effort to debunk all of the surrounding myths about the area. After a tragic boating accident leaves her orphaned and washed ashore a sand marsh in the middle of nowhere, republican presidential hopeful Ron Rogaine, and his wife Trisha, crash-land on the same turf while traveling to the Bahamas and pluck her from obscurity into the public eye by convincing her to join Ron's campaign as his running mate. Ron's opponent, the democratic nominee Jermaine Intesh, along with his running mate, senator Moe Trident, refuse to sit idle and let Tara's youthful good looks deter the voters from Ron's incompetence. In a desperate attempt to regain the public's trust after a campaign event goes horribly wrong, Jermaine devises the perfect plan that will not only guarantee him victory, but will also give history a rewrite and change the United States of America forever. Putting a fictional spin on real-life events, Population: One puts the absurdity and hypocrisy of our governmental system into perspective, while also showing that no matter who we are, we all live in our own little world. Available now through Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Also available as eBooks on the Kindle and Nook.

Population: one Reviews!Refreshing Parody - Well Timed!
By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on August 24, 2012 The year of the political campaign is very much upon us and weathering the incessant blathering of ridicule and lower than low lambasting form both sides of the fence is becoming close to nauseating. Daily missives land in the email box begging for more money because party X is getting more money the party Y gives the impression that it is not the candidate and his issues that are being publicly aired for intelligent voter consideration before the polls open but rather the whole thing comes across as a game of monopoly - he who make the most money wins, and those billions of dollars are so much more needed by the people than by the pompous fighting artillery in the media. So in the midst of all this ballyhoo and disenchantment with the US political system comes Jerry Belitch with a novel that is an absolutely hilarious parody of the whole game. Belitch is a comedy writer and a stand-up comedian so he knows how to get to the audience's funny bone. The characters and situations he has created for POPULATION: ONE are spot on - and his run on the Sarah Palin look alike is as well written as anyone has produced. The story is well described in the package insert so it need not be reiterated. No this is not great writing or the next great American novel. So why give it 4 stars? Because this is a respite, a pit stop for rethinking the madness that is rampant around us. People like Belitch help us survive, and if for no other reason (though the story is a very good one!) read this for a need moment of comic relief. Grady Harp, August 12 Great read By Shannon on May 5, 2013 With our government as messed up as it is, it is great to read this book and laugh at the madness.. An unbelievably funny book!! Humor By Donald Armfield on June 1, 2012 Tara is Marooned on an island after the boat with her Mom and Dad gets tossed around by a storm. All by herself she is later found by a married couple. Husband of couple is running for President and needs a Vice President. Looking for "Eye Candy" as his running mate to bring in the younger voters, Tara is just what he is looking for. What would you say if you were asked this question...."Will you be my Vice President?" Belitch the author does a great character introduction and some hilarious dialogue. I am not big on politics and could give a rats ass on who is president. I would choose Homer Simpson as President and the Geiko Lizard as Vice President. But I still enjoyed this book. I found myself cheering for Ron and Tara to win the race to the White House. I will not give away No more but will say I hated the character Svek. Narcissistic bastard...bah! can not stand those type of people. 4 Stars Good Job By Lester P Yanowitz on May 25, 2012 At the start it appeared the author was leaning left, but as the story evolved both sides got cut up pretty good. His unusual sense of humor stretches way out of sight and you have to remember the story is a well done satire. Although the time frame was the 08 Election the books timely release works for the present election. It was a easy read and fun. |
