I will be doing the Authors Hour radio interview at 9:05 am and I also will be at the Scituate Farmers Market on May 28 too. I'll be doing a giveaway, but please come by and say hi to me, and 20 other local authors. As a bonus, you can pick up some veggies from local farmers as well. See? Food for the brain and food for the body. It's a win win!

Well, my latest book, co-authored by Thomas Blacke, is in the final stages of publication and should be released in the next few days. The tales of the corrupt acts revealed in Scoundrels: Defining Corruption Through Tales of Political Intrigue in Rhode Island, have infuriated those who read advanced copies.
Following is a description on the book's back cover. Please share this post so others wi...ll know of the books eminent release.
It has been said that political corruption is as old as government itself. Yet despite its timeless nature and its devastating impact on society, "political corruption" remains an elusive term that is difficult to define. In order to fully grasp its impact on government and society as a whole, it is critical to first have at least a cursory understanding of what corruption is and how it is measured.
Using several infamous instances of corruption in Rhode Island politics as its framework (considered by many to be one of our nation's most corrupt states), Scoundrels: Defining Corruption Through Tales of Political Intrigue in Rhode Island attempts to define what has not always been easily recognized and for years, has eluded traditional definition. This book examines and categorizes various forms of corruption - including both active and passive practices - that have negative and deteriorating affects not only on the individuals who fall victim to the corrupt acts, but on society as a whole.
Scoundrels is an unsettling chronicle of corruption in our times. And the authors warn that until all citizens unite in their opposition to, and the exposing of, all government corruption, nothing in our society will change, and our government of the people, by the people and for the people will continue to hurt the people it was intended to help.
