John Jones 
Captain Jack for President 

On a beautiful Spring morning in Jonesport Maine, Captain Jack Harper of Harper Industries walks into Mobys restaurant for his morning cup of Mobys jo, unsuspecting that it would be the beginning of a life change, not only for him, but for his community and quite possibly the country.

Captain Jack had been a man of integrity and honor his entire life; a man of service to his community. Little did he know that his community would be asking him to be a man of service for the entire nation.

In the quiet of the morning, as the locals debated politics and listened to the typical rhetoric of the incumbent and presidential contenders, a stranger to the town was sitting in the corner taking it all in. As the locals began talking about what life would be like under a presidency of Captain Jack, the stranger became more intrigued about who this Captain Jack character might be.

When the townsmen finally approached Jack, encouraging him to make a run for the presidency, the stranger, Dexter Wyman, chair of the Constitution Party, introduced himself and joined the fray. Jack reluctantly accepted the challenge to run under the Constitution part banner, with the assistance of the entire township.

Will Jack finish the race? Will he be shutdown before getting off the starting block? Will he be eliminated permanently by organized, empowered politicians who dont appreciate a newcomer to the field?

About the author

I may be new to publishing, but I’m no stranger to writing. A 7th grade English teacher, in whom I give the credit for my interest in writing, peaked my interest many years ago. She was by far the best English teacher I had throughout all my education. I recall that class being quite challenging, having to read a fair number of books, write reports on them, and even create short stories from my own imagination.

I’ve written stories off and on since then, though I never pursued publishing until now at my family’s request.
