FOLSOM ON FIRE - Review: Canadian Ladies Book Club - "Half of our members gave Folsom on Fire 10 out of 10, which is unheard of for us!" __ AMERICAN MESSIAH - A Great American Novel - Winston Parks, a middle-aged man, has given voice to the frustrations of millions of disenfranchised Americans through his online alias, INCOGNITO. Through the power of the "Us not I" slogan that these INCOGS--as they call themselves--use, Americans are exorcising the ills of racism, economic and social inequality from the nation, and are renewing the call for patriotism. The power players . . . Democrats, Republicans, Wall Street, Race Hustlers and Race Baiters . . . who have for so long enriched themselves by fear mongering, now see their power and money waning. With an election approaching that seeks to fundamentally change the face of America into a nation that once and for all adheres to its most solemn creed--That All Men Are Created Equal--the Power Players are determined to stop INCOGNITO by any means necessary. They have silenced many others before and are prepared to do so again. Time is running out! The future of all Americans rests in the hands of a few who are ready to silence the voice of one who has energized millions! Will America rise to greatness, or fall into despair? Or will America's newest messiah become yesterday's Martyr? ___ The greatest influences on Mr. Smart-Powell's writing are Toni Morrison (The Bluest Eye, Beloved, Song of Solomon, Home) and Clive Barker (The Hellbound Heart, Cabal, Imagica), Peter Straub, Steven King, Anne Rice.
