“Unquestionably, from go to whoa, publishing my book, The Sleeping President, with Outskirts Press was an experience and one I enjoyed very much. The process was far more simple than I thought, I was never phased once, and the advice and help I received from my Reps was excellent. I could not have asked for more. I would have no hesitation in, one, recommending an Author to use OP and two, do it all again…and will. And by the way – the cover, print and style of my book – when it finally came out, it was a ‘mind-blower’. I have had many, many most favorable responses. Finally, with The Sleeping President available in all formats, I am most pleased with the results. Thank you Outskirts Press – you did me proud!”

Product description…
Threats of a Russian invasion of Afghanistan shattered the idyllic wedding and future dreams of a young Mustafa Rahman and Shereen Taraki. Accepting offered help to escape, their terrifying ‘flight to freedom’ over the infamous Khyber Pass into Pakistan quickly follows. Securing American refugee status in Karachi, the frightened, penniless immigrants are befriended and well mentored by New York based Afghans where, over the ensuing years, they will amass a personal wealth and affluence, unimagined. First born Shawn, combining radio and television, achieves enviable popularity as a political broadcaster that will serve him well in his bid for election to public office, seeking the ultimate pinnacle of political success. Sibling twins, his younger brother George enlists in the U.S. military to help fight the new war on terror – ironically, he is sent to Afghanistan. Sister Kristen, skilled in languages, chooses a government career in Washington DC. Against Shereen’s wishes and children’s advice, Mustafa, with idle time and the advantage of money and connections, decides to honor a youthful, lifelong, family promise. Unwittingly, this time, the help sought and given, guarantees ‘Mission Accomplished’ to a once meticulously planned, sinister, evil plot. Spanning almost 100 years, this epic fictional story, with factual historical events and people, woven through the headlines of the day, is as much about love and survival, business and high-stakes politics, as it is about patience and intrepid, masterful forethought. It culminates, when the ultimate price of freedom, as originally expected, is finally, shockingly claimed! COULD IT HAPPEN?Outskirts Press Review
