Excerpt from The Candidate: A Political Romance The huge convention-hall still rang with the thunders of applause, and most of the delegates were on their feet shouting or waving their hats, when Harley slipped from his desk and made his way quietly to the little side-door leading from the stage. It was all over now but the noise; after a long and desperate fight Grayson, a young lawyer, with little more than a local reputation, had been nominated by his party for the Presidency of the United States, and Harley, alert, eager, and fond of dramatic effects, intended to be the first who should tell him the surprising fact. He paused a moment, with his hand on the door, and, looking out upon the hall with its multitude of hot, excited faces, ran quickly over the events of the last three or four days. Ten thousand people had sat there, hour after hour, waiting for the result, and now the result had come. The rival parties had entered their conventions, full of doubt and apprehension.

Moreover, both conventions had nominated dark horses, but the second nominee was the darker of the two. James Madison Grayson, affectionately called Jimmy Grayson by his neighbors and ad miters, was quite young, without a gray hair in his head, tall, powerfully built, smooth-shaven, and with honest eyes that gazed straight into yours. He was known as a brave man, with fine oratorical powers and a winning personality, but he had come to the convention merely as a delegate, and without any thought of securing the nomination for himself. Not a single vote had been instructed for him, but in that lay his Opportunity. All the conspicuous candidates were weak; good men in themselves, a solid political objection could be raised against every' one of them, and for a while the voting was scattered and desultory. Then Grayson began to attract at tention; as a delegate he had Spoken two or three times, always briefly, but with grace and to the point, and the people were glad both to see him and to hear him.At last a far-sighted old man from the same state knew that the moment had come when the convention...Joseph Alexander Altsheler (April 29, 1862 - June 5, 1919) was an American newspaper reporter, editor and author of popular juvenile historical fiction.

The remaining nineteen novels can be read in any order. [Note, however, that A Knight of Philadelphia was later expanded through the addition of nineteen chapters and some minor tweaks to become Mr. Altsheler's novel In Hostile Red.]The short stories, of course, can be read in any order.

"Let's be honest," Paxton says in a gruff, sitting forward on his perch on one end of the Enfield. "Margery doesn't have a personality. She's relying on her policies to speak for her. Now, I'm not saying we don't have good policies, Christine," he corrects himself when he sees her raised eyebrow. "I'm just saying that voters are too lazy to do their own research and will let a candidate's charisma win them over. And you have charisma by the bucket-load.""We're going to focus on policies too," Linette assures her, resting her hand on Christine's tense left shoulder. "But it's election time and we need to worry a lot more about politicking than worrying about legislation. We can figure that out once we have a mandate." Christine has to restrain another sigh of frustration from escaping. She got into the office that morning ready and inspired to be reasonable and dialogic. Instead she'd been met with petulance. They've been at this since she'd sat down with the steaming mug of coffee and the pain au chocolat Shelley had handed her as she walked through her office door that morning. Christine had again pulled her desk chair to sit on one side of the coffee table opposite Paxton on the couch to have this conversation, hoping that this time the vibe and the outcome will be considerably different to yesterday's. And yet Shelley is on her knees on the short end of the coffee table, hunched over her laptop, toggling between Paxton's PowerPoint and the one that Christine had handed her on a USB stick in exchange for the pastry, trying to make both presentable for party headquarters as she'd been given conflicting instructions by Paxton and Christine.

As rumors and accusations about her death fly around Capitol Hill, Cameron’s low profile makes him the perfect candidate for an FBI investigation that he wants no part of. Before he knows it—and with his family’s future at stake—he discovers DC’s darkest secrets as he races to expose a deadly conspiracy. If it doesn’t get him killed first.
