A Cuban in the White House

by Juan Del Cerro

87 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #06-1867; ISBN 1-4251-0110-0; US$18.00, C$20.70, EUR14.03, £9.30

Cubans (the so-called Miami Mafia) are suspected of trying to take over the U.S. elections.

About the Book

Cubans adore politics and get involved in all phases of the electoral process, getting the votes, choosing the candidate, and making their opinions known. This story is about an attorney that has been secretly anointed by some Republicans to become a candidate, but the promise never materializes. The man is an American born in Miami, the son of immigrant Cuban parents, and the Cuban community goes nuts with the possibility of "getting near" the White House. It is all fiction, a fabrication, but the personalities described could very well be alive and walking down Calle Ocho. The Author hopes no one feels included or part of the farce. He confesses to having enjoyed writing every word therein.

All locations and activities described, with names changed, are typical of the present Miami. And, in between the impossible events, some serious political ideas do creep in.

About the Author

Juan del Cerro had been writing historical crime fiction. He has published with Trafford two books before:

Havana Recalled I - Killer Kin,

and

Havana Recalled II - The Secret Comparsa

A Cuban in the White House is his first venture into political fiction, satire, or fun, as you may wish to call it. He hopes fellow Cuban-born Americans will not get mad at the criticisms, and like the book. Some, he fears, might be misled by the title, an innocent plug in favor of his much maligned nationality. But he ends by saying "Could it possibly come true?"
