While thirty-six famous attorneys wrote history books about the election crisis in Florida in 2000, author and historian Elaine North has written a crime, romance novel that blends all the events, politicians, protesters and other aspects of the 2000 election crisis in Florida into an intriguing fiction novel. “Election 2000 Enchantment” is a fun-filled adventure of two young women, who become ballot recounters during the election crisis.

The entire election crisis, each day-by-day event, is clearly depicted through the characters in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT. The novel takes place in the resort town of Honeyside, in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Jennifer McCloud and Robin Booth are friends, both 21, who proudly become ballot hand recounters when presidential election 2000 becomes derailed. Jennifer is white and had put in a lot of hours volunteering for Bush. Robin is an African American, who is a waitress at a chic jet set nightclub called the Space Ocean in the resort town. Both Jennifer and Robin attend college, and they meet a variety of interesting people that come to Florida due to the election crisis. Jennifer becomes romantically involved with Alan Scott, a dashing young democrat television news reporter from New York, and Robin meets a tall handsome young democrat black attorney, Damon Shuttlesworth, from Chicago. In San Quentin, California, on Election Day, Dick Johnson, a habitual criminal and thief, is released from prison. The thief descends upon Florida to steal ballots and con money from people by telling the lie that he can steal votes from the hand recount to help a candidate win. Dick Johnson befriends Jennifer and Robin and plots to use them in his scam. The girls are overworked and weary from recounting mounds of ballots, and Johnson makes them feel important by telling them that they should be honored for hand counting ballots and saving the country. The thief fools the girls into believing that he is a rich man. He takes Jennifer and Robin to fancy restaurants, buys them expensive jewelry, and lies to them raving about the many movie stars, royalty and politicians he knows. Dick Johnson steals credit cards, a Rolex watch, six cars and everything else he desires. In Chapter 13, “The Thief in the Night,” Johnson steals ballots and a voting machine. Jennifer and Robin encounter fun and adventure as they experience all important events of the election crisis. When republicans storm the Miami-Dade county building to stop the hand recount, Jennifer and Robin are there. They cheer with a crowd when they see the Ryder truck speeding along the highway taking ballots to Tallahassee, with no idea that Dick Johnson is trailing them. All of the 24 chapters in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT are well developed and some read as richly as short stories. Chapter 19, “The Proud Day in Washington, D.C.,” is one of the funniest chapters, when Dick Johnson treats Jennifer and Robin to a plane trip to Washington to protest at the big U.S. Supreme Court hearing. As Jennifer and Robin protests, Dick Johnson steals a truck and tries to steal a statue of President Madison, but ends up fleeing from the police and hiding, which causes Jennifer and Robin to become stranded in Washington after the protest. The love affairs in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT are sensitive and passionate. The main topic of the book is the election, yet the writer artfully blends the romances and the crimes of Dick Johnson with the election crisis, as they all evolve. Damon and Robin have a sweet romance until she tells him that she voted for Ralph Nader, and they argue and break up. Jennifer has many opportunities to interact with Alan while he is working as a reporter on the election. In Chapter 12, “Election Love,” Jennifer and Alan realize that they have fallen in love and wonder if the end of the election will be the end of their affair. Minor characters in ELECTION 2000 ENCHANTMENT include Jennifer’s two nerd little brothers, Wyler, age 17, who is trying to build a voting machine to enter the Perfect Voting Machine Contest, and 12 year old Truman, who is also a genius and analyzes the details of the election crisis like an expert. Robin’s mother, Sandra Booth, is a most vivid minor character, one that could be a major character. Sandra Booth is a staunch democrat, who constantly complains about what is happening with the election. Sandra is a dynamic, strong black woman, who uses all kinds of sophisticated manipulative strategies to get Damon to marry Robin. Elaine North is an eloquent writer and charming storyteller.

A Note from the Author: In 2000, while transfixed to the television and newspapers during the election crisis in Florida, I decided to write a novel about the election crisis. Initially, it was a romance novel, but after the first draft, I realized that the book needed something more. After writing additional treatments, I came up with the idea of Dick Johnson, the criminal and thief. Because I depicted the entire 2000 election crisis, each day-by-day event, in the novel, “Election 2000 Enchantment” has become an important political and historical book. “Election 2000 Enchantment” is my sixth book, after 25 years of writing. I hope that you enjoy reading “Election 2000 Enchantment.” * * * * Book Purchase Information You can get a copy of “Election 2000 Enchantment,” by Elaine North at Barnes & Nobles, Other Leading Bookstores Or Order the book at http://www.iUniverse.com, or http://www.amazon.com * * * * Title: Election 2000 Enchantment Author: Elaine North Publisher: iUniverse.com Purchase at: Barnes & Nobles, other leading bookstores, and at iUniverse.com and amazon.com.
