The Parable of the Peacock takes a satirical look at the state of American politics as we approach the critical 2020 presidential election. Written in the style of a children’s picture book, the work’s rhyming couplets are best enjoyed read aloud. The book serves up ridicule to deserving parties, but it saves a heaping plateful for the Mocker-in-Chief.
Author Brent Bohlen is a friend and fellow race walking pied-piper. I published his race walking book, BoomerWalk, a decade ago. When he showed me a draft of The Parable of the Peacock I jumped at the opportunity to help him materialize his thoughts into a final book. Acting as the publisher, I helped Brent acquire the artist and worked with him to create a satirical masterpiece.

President Trump’s unfiltered, unapologetic style is leading the country into a deep state of tribalism unseen since the Civil war. Zojjed v2.0 shines a light on this hostility using real facts, not the alternative ones favored by some. Because truth is stranger and more powerful than fiction, Zojjed v2.0 uses Trump’s own words and tweets weaved around a satirical, fictional story that dives into the fragile state of affairs in the United States. It tells the continuing adventures of Alex Pinto, a technology geek who is as comfortable at the computer as she is on the 400 meter oval. Over ten years removed from the injuries and heart break of a global disaster she was unwittingly involved in as a college athlete, Alex seeks a return to competing among the world’s best once again as a race walker.
Alex fills the competitive void by capitalizing on her technical skills. A gifted, but somewhat arrogant computer scientist, she spends time pecking at the keyboard exploring the darker corners of the cyber world. With our increasing dependency on technology fraught with vulnerabilities, could Alex get herself in more trouble than she did in Zojjed? Find out when her adventure continues in the little known town of Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico where she confronts the malicious effects of President Trump’s immigration policies head on.
