Having taught at universities in Washington, DC, Maine, Florida and New Jersey, Gale harvests characters, places and events from his own experience in this comic portrait of modern academic life. If you were ever a college student, faculty member, or administrator, you will find much to laugh at in this amusing new novel. And if you weren't, find out what you missed.
If fiction doesn't appeal to you, see Gale's latest eBook, "Graftsmanship," a nonfiction investigation into political corruption across America. The author explores a veritable Hall of Shame of ethically challenged public officials. Extortion, bribery, conspiracy, campaign mis-finance, embezzlement - see how the FBI and Justice Department catch politicians red-handed. Find out about The Crescent of Corruption, a region of Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where such crimes are particularly prevalent. Both eBooks are available at Amazon.com on your Kindle, iPhone, Droid, and computer.
