Pianist in a Bordello What would happen if a politician decided to tell the truth-the whole truth? Richard Youngblood, aspiring Congressman, is about to find out. He's running on a platform of honesty and transparency-and against the advice of his friends and advisers he's decided to start with himself. His autobiography will lay his entire life bare before voters just days before the election. And what a life he's had. Born in a commune and named Richard Milhous Nixon Youngblood as an angry shot at his absent father, Richard grows up in the spotlight, the son of an enigmatic fugitive and the grandson of a Republican senator. He's kidnapped and rescued, kicked out of college for a prank involving turkeys, arrested in Hawaii while trying to deliver secrets to the CIA...Dick Nixon Youngblood's ready to tell all. He'll even tell his readers about the Amandas-three women who share a name but not much else, and who each have helped shape and define the man he's become. Are voters really ready for the whole truth? Are you? Pianist in a Bordello is a hilarious political romp through the last four decades of American history, from a narrator who is full of surprises.

About the Author About the Author Mike C. Erickson's birth and early education took place in the idyllic college town of Logan, Utah, but because of a twist of fate he graduated from high school in Honolulu. He left Hawaii brimming with aloha and enrolled at Utah State, where he was awarded two degrees and self-proclaimed minor intellectual status, which was of dubious value when the US Army invited him to vacation in South-East Asia. Ten days after leaving Vietnam, he began decades of dispensing pearls of wisdom as a high school teacher and, on occasion as a community college history instructor in suburban Sacramento. Mike and his wife Trudy, have two grown sons and a grandson to be born just after this novel. When not in Hawaii or some other exotic locale, they live in Gold River, California. This is his first novel.
