ABOUT THE 5.5x8.5" PAPERBACK (not yet available from bookstores): This is the story of a fictional attempt on Bobby Kennedy’s life during the Indiana primary in 1968. It is the story of 18 year old Seth McKee, a small town Hoosier newspaper reporter. His paper’s editor is a Klansman. His father sets off car bombs for The Teamsters. His roommate’s uncle is a corrupt journalist with mob and CIA connections. So when Robert Kennedy does a campaign swing through his hometown, Seth becomes the center of an engaging story.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: “Leonard has a fine ear for dialogue and description, and a self-mocking humor,” writes NEWSWEEK journalist, Karl Fleming.
Leonard’s first novel, TIN SOLDIERS (Zumaya Press, 2006), garnered widespread critical acclaim. As a playwright, he has received many regional and national honors, including the Roger L. Stevens Award from The President’s Commission on the Arts & Humanities and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
