You could be a lobbyist. Lobbying is a simple job. Visit a man nine times and don't ask for anything. On your tenth visit, ask, and you will get whatever you want. They're sick of their jobs, fed up with working for someone else, and tired of the eight-to-five routine. So what's a guy to do? In the case of Mike and James, the idea hits them over beers at the Capitol House Bar, as they watch the local politicos making deals and paying for whores and booze as if money grew on trees. As reasonably handsome and charismatic men themselves, surely they too could become lobbyists. It'd be easy: just bullshit and scheme their way into the favor of the legislators, and they'd have all the money-and action-they wanted. Thus, the Good Ole Boys and Associates is born, and two political newcomers appear on the scene, ready to become a part of the lobbying profession's powerful elite. But as they'll soon learn, there's more to their new jobs than they ever imagined, and the impact they can make goes far beyond money. Meanwhile, a blossoming romance pairs a beautiful Harvard grad with the recently divorced James; it seems like a match made in heaven...but with secrets lurking behind the scene, could Kimberly be hiding something big from her new beau? Discover the truth about the politically savvy and this highly entertaining novel The Lobbyist.

And so, a new chapter in the life of Richard J. Codey, an undertaker's son born and bred in the Garden State, began on the night of August 12, 2004--he knew from that point his life would never be the same . . . and it hasn't been. His memoir is a breezy, humorous, perceptive, and candid chronicle of local and state government from a man who lived among political movers and shakers for more than three decades. Codey became governor of New Jersey, succeeding James McGreevey, who resigned following a homosexual affair--a shattering scandal and set of circumstances that were bizarre, even for the home state of the Sopranos. At once a political autobiography, filled with lively, incisive anecdotes that record how Codey restored respectability and set a record for good politics and good government in a state so often tarnished, this is also the story about a man and his family.

Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff is an engineer, a widely respected senator, and according to Caroline Kennedy he is “an inspiration to all who serve in government, and to all Americans.” Senator Ratliff, nicknamed “Obi Wan Kenobi” by his colleagues, was a revered and much loved leader in Texas for more than a decade. He singularly wrote the Texas Robin-Hood school finance law, a major Ethics reform law, a Texas tort reform law, and held a great disdain for narrow partisanship and politics. This is the inspirational story of a great man doing good work in a time when many are cynical about political leadership and government. His courageous stand on principle brought him to a showdown with powerful forces in the Bush White House and earned him the public vitriol of right-wing billionaires.
