Monday April 25, 2:17 pm ET
RICHMOND, Va., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Described as "a wildly tension- filled novel right up to the suspenseful end" by the prestigious MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, a thriller called THE COLOR OF DEMONS, set in a future presidential election campaign, will be released May 1. Opposing candidates are modeled after Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice.

Co-author Stephen Hawley Martin explained why the two were chosen by saying, "Few things excite the hearts and minds of the thinking and reading public as a presidential campaign, so when my brother and I decided to collaborate on what we hoped would be a page-turner, we paired up the most scintillating candidates we could think of." Martin's previous novels have made him the only two-time winner of the WRITER'S DIGEST BOOK AWARD. One of his prizewinning works is being made into a motion picture, and he is also the recipient of First Prize for Visionary Fiction from Independent Publisher.
The Martin brothers started writing THE COLOR OF DEMONS a year ago. Co- author David Nathan Martin remarked that it is interesting to see what they prognosticated then may actually come to pass, adding, "There are already rumblings of a draft Condoleezza movement, but we're not surprised. Who better to put up to oppose Senator Clinton? John Kerry got 54 percent of his vote from three groups: African-Americans, Hispanics and single white women. Rice would cut deeply into these constituencies so a run between the two would likely be a real horse race." David Martin is the author of a popular whodunit, UNDER A LEMON MOON, and has written two best-selling books on marketing communications. He is the founder of The Martin Agency, an internationally-known advertising agency boasting such high-profile accounts as UPS, Olympus, NASCAR and GEICO Auto Insurance.
THE COLOR OF DEMONS also features a stepped up war on terror and postulates the shadowy threat of spirit possession. "No doubt about it, it's a pot boiler," Stephen Martin said. "But we don't think you'll find a more compelling read for a day at the beach." |
