I'm the President, by Donald Thump was written by George A.M. Heroux, although it pretends to be written by a fictional President who has to deal with all the issues currently confronting the real President, Donald Trump. President Thump writes his book during the campaign and during part of his presidency.In this book, we get to know an American President who is outrageous in thought and action. He is totally over the top, as he confidently describes his business beginnings, his connection with Russia, his attitude on guns, his womanizing, and many other topics that demonstrate the mind of a dangerous President. But the book is not without humor, because Thump's actions are sometimes so ridiculous that readers can only be fascinated and amused.This is Donald Thump's tell-all, because his plan is to write the truth and publish it only after he leaves the presidency with a so-what attitude, returning to his billionaire life and his hideaways.Set primarily in the White House, the characters are somewhat based on real people or on very ridiculous people with interesting names.

In 2001, three students from a Minnesota Christian college were killed by a drunk driver going the wrong way on a four-lane highway. The beginning of this novel is based on that tragedy, and though fiction, the story tells of the chilling reverberations of this kind of crash. In the novel, the incident not only impacts the families of the victims, but also the lives of the prosecutor, defense attorney, judge and many others, perhaps, most remarkably, the drunk driver. This leads to intrigue and suspense in the courtroom, continues with twists and turns, and ends in a most unexpected way. But for the Crash is thought provoking, compelling, and original. Not incidentally, this novel could be used as a textbook for prosecutors and defense attorneys working on DUI felony cases. Author and Renaissance man George A.M.
