What do you think of this book idea?

[Matt Foley]

A 47-year old politician is rising through the ranks using charisma. He's a RINO (Republican In Name Only) who wins a Senate seat in Texas. When he starts to run for President, a journalist delves into his background and finds he was born in Dallas the exact moment Kennedy was killed. The reporter doesn't believe in reincarnation, but nonetheless he finds amazing similarities between this guy and Kennedy...not the backgrounds in which they grew up, but personalities and the way they handle crises, skirt chasing, etc. Soon, the reporter finds he's not the only one "on to this." Sinister forces are after this new guy, and the reporter must decide if he should report the story, or do what he can to stop it.

Cool idea. Read this book if you havent. It will make you a believer in reincarnation.

Might consider reading it. As long as it isn't too politically focused or biased. Do you write?

Have always wanted to write books, but settled on writing articles. You can take a book and make it your own world. My neighbor writes books and when he told me about his main character, I thought "hell, I can do better than that."

That's why I wanted him to be a Republican. To show that it's more about cult of personality and take most of the politics out of it.

Yea, I write as well. It's very difficult, but like you said it allows you to be so much more creative. If you could keep it focused on the strange aspect of the plot I'd definitely be interested. Or have something unknown to the reader for quite some time.

Who are the sinister forces, and what is their connection to the people who killed Kennedy?

Absolutely. I love reading books, but I really love reading books that make you think or throw you a curve ball. So, it's really anything you want to do with it. If you write it I'll read it.

I like the premise behind it, but I wonder if it would work with the reincarnated Kennedy as your main character? Eh, probably not -- I just don't know if the main character is as interesting as the overall story idea. Maybe the main character could somehow be related to Kennedy?

It seems more cinematic than literary, to me.

Great idea, I'm a 100 pages in to writing this novel now.

Thanks!

Sounds like you are stealing ideas from Dan Brown.

The two thugs working for the sinister forces will be named Delhommey and Panthro. Cantrell will be the gay prostitute. Zod will be the shoe shine boy.
