Press Release: Loose Cannons and Other Weapons of Mass Political Destruction

Official press release from Prairie Depot/I-73 Independent Press:

Prairie Depot/I-73 Independent Press proudly announces the release of J.D. Elder’s new political satire, Loose Cannons and Other Weapons of Mass Political Destruction.Finally, a book for everyone fed up with the political status quo. A independent call to arms for people to take back their government from the fat cat, big money special interests, Loose Cannons and Other Weapons of Mass Political Destruction is a rowdy, hard-hitting, no holds barred satire that finally puts politics in proper perspective- by equating it to professional wrestling.

A dark cloud has covered the American political landscape. The powerful forces of professional partisans, political operatives, and special interest groups have combined to polarize the electorate into two bitterly divided extreme camps while many people tune out of the political process altogether.

However, DeWayne Cantrell isn’t like most people.

Co-owner with Bubba Jackson of the world’s only political pro wrestling federation, Buckland County Extreme Wrestling, DeWayne, a reformed politician himself, skewers the political world on a weekly basis on the BCEW wrestling show. BCEW is: Political. Hardcore. Extreme. Wrestling. Or PHEW!- accurately describing the current state of American politics. But when powerful United States Senator David Hutchinson gets wind of what Cantrell is doing, DeWayne finds himself being subpoenaed to appear before a Senate sub-committee on the ‘Media and Their Contribution to the Coarseness of the American Culture.’ It is after a heated exchange with Senator Hutchinson at the contentious hearing that DeWayne realizes that it’s no joke anymore.

Cantrell then throws his hat into the political ring and challenges Hutchinson for his Senate seat. Can DeWayne stand up for the little guy against the establishment of both political parties and stick it to the Washington D.C. elites? To what lengths will the professional politicians and their special interest groups go to stop him?

And will American politics ever be the same?

Loose Cannons… is produced by Prairie Depot/I-73 Independent Press and will be distributed through Lulu Press. The novel is now available at the Lulu website or through www.bucklandcounty.com and will also eventually be available online through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders.

Mr. Elder is also the author of 2005’s Loose Cannons of Buckland County. He is a 1990 graduate of Bowling Green State University and resides outside rural Wauseon, Ohio along with his wife and three children. In a past life, he was a pizza delivery driver nicknamed ‘Turbo.’ He still enjoys a good pizza as well as cheap beer, bad movies, and the music of Charlie Robison. He loves both college football and basketball, hates the BCS, and thinks more mid-major teams should get into the NCAA tournament.
