Dear Agent:
Senator Philip Fullovit, inveterate party switcher and long-winded sponsor of every bill you can think of, has served 30 years as a Republican senator and 30 years as a Democrat senator—PLUS!! eight years as Vice President of the United States, which gave him the opportunity to cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate a record-breaking 942 times.
Now retired, he wants to serve the children of Washington, D.C., as well as he served his country. To his delight, he discovers that he has a talent for composing cheerful songs about every subject you can think of, so he volunteers, out of the goodness of his self-serving heart, to babysit every little kid you can think of. The parents love it because the kids, albeit in self-defense, fall asleep in no time. His popularity as a local nanny has put many a teenager out of work. Led by Melinda Malarkey, among whose special powers is the gift of gab, the penniless teens form a secret society to take back the night.
FILIBUSTER PHIL, a YA novel to be enjoyed by teens and parents alike, is almost complete at 4,300, 942 words. Think of that movie Lincoln meets that movie Mary Poppins.
I am a retired custodian from Washington, D.C., who specialized in picking up snack wrappers from the Senate floor, so I’m very familiar with the goings-on of our elected officials—PLUS!! I have tons of great-grandchildren to whom I sing many a song I composed myself.
Thank you for your attention.
