The Raunch Factor: A Novel of Provincial Life

By D.J. Muns Blancato

Idealistic, passionate but broke Third Party U.S. congressional candidate Harold 'Hal" Renshaw believes that the American two-sides-of-the-same-coin two-party system is dangerously undemocratic.

Pioneering women's shelter founders, including sexy, savvy interior designer, Daphne Singleton, help Hal with party-building through hilarious, manic and sometimes disastrous fundraisers.

Hal's Citizen Action Party's rapid growth and anti-Gulf War message spur a vicious infiltration counter-movement. Similar conflict is unfolding at the Sojourner Shelter where Marilyn Monroe clone, social-worker-from-hell CEO Traci Bilsen Bloom refuses to shelter domestic violence victims of color. Additional power-driven manipulations reveal the misanthropic Traci one of the most sinister yet funniest, preposterously erotic characters in recent literature.

This fast-paced, informative socio-political satire is an office seeker's primer, a moving love story and exciting mystery with intelligently-written universality.
