About the Novel

Ethan Ball is not entirely deplorable

If Ethan Ball never admits to himself that he’s deplorable, then he’s never going to find love and he’s never going to save the world.

The problem is, Ethan Ball is not an asshole.  In fact he’s pretty awesome.  His 10 million followers think so, his girlfriend thinks so, and so too does the beautiful woman from the bar in Paris.  The one he definitely wasn’t stalking.  The one who could also save the world if only she stood up for her convictions and overcame her domineering father and her controlling husband.

Ethan finds himself entangled in a complex “love quadrangle” with the Republican, Democrat and Independent candidates all vying to reshape the world, or maybe destroy it!  With the election looming, and the lives of millions at stake, Ethan will have to face some ugly truths and decide between doing the right thing, or being deplorable.

Will he find love and save the world?
