The Day of the Ferret

This book was published in November 2021, years before the attempted assassination of Trump in Butler, PA.. Writing it was my antidote to the misery of the pandemic, and I was delighted when it hit Amazon’s top spot in Political Humor. Lampooning the powerful is a sacred freedom of we English-speaking people, and here, I celebrate it. Given the events of July 14, 2024, the cover image may make some uncomfortable and mislead others concerning the book’s content. But rest assured, as one 5-star reviewer noted… No oranges were harmed in the making of this book. Lol.
Michael Woodman, July 2024.To entrap an old flame who’s trying to kill him and boost his poll ratings at the same time, an embattled US President, Secret Service codename Horndog, sets up a fake assassination targeting himself.
It’s a genius plan, so long as it fails. Should the assassination succeed, well… even Horndog is smart enough to figure that one out. So fail it must, and that calls for an operative with a special set of skills… Enter our hero, Gatlin Fry, a degenerate, rat-fink turncoat the President can count on to bollix it all up. BUT WHAT IF IT GOES RIGHT BY MISTAKE? Sweet justice awaits someone, but who? All is revealed in this irreverent and wickedly funny satirical thriller.

Funny, well-written, and provocative.

Unmissable… wonderful and entertaining satire.
Kind of a cross between SNL and Bill Maher.
Wacky, irreverent, bitingly funny.
Cleverly written… manages to walk the fine line between well-crafted satire and insults to the intelligence.
