Author Admits Attending The 2012 Republican National Convention Forced Her To Pen Explosive Series

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - March 21, 2016 - PRLog -- Award-winning author Rachael L. McIntosh is no stranger to controversy. Her acclaimed series, "Security Through Absurdity," has presented, under a thin veil of fiction, many curious and shocking things about the political system of the United States.  Now, McIntosh has admitted that her attendance at the 2012 Republican Convention was one of the deciding factors that influenced her to write her series.

"It's no wonder the Republicans are a mess this presidential election. They really showed their true colors during the 2012 RNC, and that laid the groundwork for what everyone is forced to endure today. Unfortunately, the press didn't really cover what was going on in there, for whatever reason..." she stated recently.

The series, although written for GenX, has done very well with Young Adult audiences, most likely because of their curiosity about 9/11. And now, with the current frenzy around the presidential election and because the books are strangely humorous, adults of all ages are appreciating the novels.

Rachael L. McIntosh's  books are inspired by her real life experiences working for a major US defense contractor, her dealings with national news outlets, and her involvement with a US presidential campaign. Her books are technically contemporary historical fiction and are ranked #1 on GoodReads Best News Series (2014).  It is worth noting that everything the main character experiences in Book Three: The Big Show (except for being shot), is what Ms. McIntosh lived through as an elected alternate delegate for the state of Rhode Island during the 2012 Republican National Convention, most of which went unreported and is directly related to what is currently happening in politics now.

Reader comments:

"Rachel L McIntosh is now my favorite author. This series of modern historical fiction is very entertaining, funny and timely. "

"I found the subject matter fascinating, and I love her writing style.

This is truth written as fiction, and as such,

I really believe everybody should be reading this series."

"OMG I HATE YOU!! I just finished reading "The Big Show" and I thought it was the last book in a trilogy! I had no idea there would be such a tantalizing cliffhanger at the end! I read all three books over the course of five nights I could *not* put your books down once I had started. Awesome awesome awesome!"

These comments come just weeks after she launched the audiobook edition of the first book in her series, "Little Yellow Stickies." McIntosh, who is currently working on having the second book of her series turned into an audiobook, was asked about her current voting status. "I don't like any of the candidates that I've been exposed to.  It's unfortunate, though.  I'd really like to hear from one of the other candidates running for office.  There are over 50 political parties in the U.S.  The Democrats and the Republicans have cornered the television market, and we aren't allowed to hear other possible solutions to our nation's problems."

The "Security Through Absurdity" series tells the story of Jocelyn McLaren, a naïve artist, who is thrown into a world of corruption and greed when she accepts a job with a U.S. based defense contractor. The series has been described as "the definite first-hand view of recent history through the eyes of someone who lived through that time with the position to see more of what goes on behind closed doors."
