The Novel


​Buckeye’s Ballet

Elected president for his entertainment value, Buckeye keeps the spotlight on the White House. When his Russian cronies propose building a dam across the Bering Strait to counteract global warming, he agrees to champion the collaborative project in exchange for the best seats at the Bolshoi Ballet on his next trip to Moscow.

Creating the dam is as simple as it is ominous. Just tap volcanic matter by super fracking at record depths beneath the sea floor, add to the magma the endless supply of trash from the Lower 48, chill the meld into a wall across the Strait, and ignore the seismic warnings of earthquakes to come.

The Alaska boom town spawned by the dam project lures an array of ne’er-do-well optimists chasing opportunities—the madam of a time-share brothel, a love-tainted doomsday preacher, the first bitch on a globe-trotting TV reality show, an old-school bookie from Prague, a delicately imbalanced psychotherapist from upper crust New York, a reclusive hit man from Great Slave Lake, and a polar bear out of sync with the seasons.
​
Even “H,” the first lady, visits the ninth wonder of the world where she discovers her singular talent for piloting a yacht full of school children over the world’s first synthetic tsunami.
​
Buckeye’s Ballet—satire, farce, and whimsical science fiction—is cast with quirky comic characters who mimic and spoof the petty agendas of world leaders.
