Book excerpt: Lincoln Carr has a big problem, sort of. Hes the owner of a successful advertising agency, engaged to a beautiful woman, and enjoys the wonderful normalcy of his life in every way. But when he wins a fortune playing the lottery, he quickly realizes his life will never be anything close to normal. He knows large amounts of money can have a strange effect on people, and he also knows his new situation gives him the potential for doing both good and bad things with that money. His winnings, along with his skill in todays media and his love for practical jokes, soon lead him deeper into dark and questionable behaviors. Enjoying the influence that comes with enormous wealth, he sees his pranks escalate into elaborate con games that affect the lives of his friends as well as strangers. Despite his promise to himself to remain grounded and normal, he struggles when his newly acquired power leads him into the political arena and he finds the line between good and bad has become hard to walk. With a cast of colorful characters navigating their way through modern life, King of the Trailer Park offers a darkly humorous look at the new politics of America and the ongoing decline of the culture. Set in todays polarized world where personal information is too easily shared, where the media is seldom questioned, and where perception is sold as reality, this story paints a troubling picture of the road that lies ahead.
