      EXERPT FROM "DECISION"

 

 

     The early morning sunlight sneaked through the slight separation of the dark drapes in the hotel room. Quickly, he became aware that he was in a Savannah hotel room, the Sheraton to be exact near the city's historic district. He was there attending a three day workshop and strategy session for Georgia Democratic candidates in the upcoming off year election. Even though the meetings were concluded, and he planned to be home that evening, there were too many social invitations that he as an aspiring elected official could not turn down. After all, how could he refuse requests by some of the most important political figures in the state to join them for dinner followed by drinks at one of the popular bars along River Street? Despite being the first time he was away overnight from his wife, reluctantly he had no choice but to call and tell her that he had to spend another night in Savannah and drive home the next morning.

     After a few seconds, the recollection of the previous night's elaborate dinner at the Chart House and the bar hopping alongside the river came to his mind. Then as the fog continued to clear from his mind, he realized that there was a woman sleeping in his bed. And she was not his wife!

     When he gazed closer to her, his fear was confirmed. He was in bed with Shelley Brewster, the hard driving, overly ambitious, and in the minds of some, the ruthless governor of Georgia  who was detemined to become the country's first woman president by whatever means necessary......
