Roll Over, Hitler! - a new comic novel with a razor edge

danbro@rcn.com · 12-04-2010, 12:35 PM

It’s 2012 and the unprecedented has happened. Fifty-two year old Ron Goldberg, a liberal U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, has been elected the first Jewish President of the United States. Proclaimed “the Jewish Kennedy,” his kingdom “the Kosher Camelot,” he still is not universally embraced by America. Or the world. Blackmail, dirty tricks and charges of nepotism quickly threaten to sabotage his presidency. Anti-Semitism resurges. Death threats abound. Old flames are fanned. Bacon is eschewed. Camels are bombed. Furniture is rearranged. A dead father speaks. All the while, Goldberg soldiers on, determined to make his mark by unveiling the centerpiece of his agenda — an ambitious world disarmament plan that could either work or end all life on Earth in a nanosecond.

BIO. I have been an advertising writer for three decades, winning hundreds of major industry awards. I created a unique and irreverent Jewish greeting card company called Jewish FunnyBone. Additionally, I have licensed many of my ideas for use on a variety of consumer products. I live with my wife and Cairn Terrier in Westboro, Massachusetts. I have three grown children and four grandchildren. This is my first novel.

danbro@rcn.com · 12-06-2010, 11:12 AM

I'm hoping all this might create some buzz and readership for my new novel. But I don't want to do anything that's not kosher. What's a good, polite and proven way to encourage readership?

rrburton · 12-06-2010, 05:13 PM

Multiple formats will be an awesome start. I'm itchin to check your book out, but I only use ePUBs, for example. Book sounds fun, off I go to see the sample...

danbro@rcn.com · 12-06-2010, 06:29 PM

Yes, I'm looking into other formats now. But probably won't happen until early next year though. I hope you enjoy the excerpt. I'll be anxious to hear what you think.

Is it possible to offer samples chapters (in PDF format) for free to members of the community? And, if so, how would I do that?

rrburton · 12-10-2010, 08:33 PM

Just a bump to say I enjoyed the sample at amazon and look forward to the balance in the new year. Can't wait to find out what happens

danbro@rcn.com · 12-11-2010, 12:05 PM

Thanks. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book as much as the sample. I'm looking forward to your reaction.

Got some nice ink in the Jewish Advocate (the oldest continuously-circulated English-language Jewish newspaper in the United States) on December 17, 2010 -- except for the fact that they made me about a decade older than I really am! Just when I was starting to feel young again, too. Oh, well. Hope you take the time to read the profile:

And perhaps, afterwards, check out the book:

And the next president of the United States is … Ron Goldberg. A Jew in the White House is the subject of “Roll Over, Hitler!,” the debut novel by Daniel Bruce Brown of Westborough.

Would like to see an epub version if possible in the future

A lot of authors (and readers here) use Smashwords. That way, it's compatible with the kobo reader and others.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely look into that.

danbro@rcn.com · 01-28-2011, 03:25 PM

Well. it's always nice to hear from readers, particularly when they have something nice to say! I came across this brief review my novel today on Google Books [http://books.google.com/books?id=BRV...esec=reviews]:

"Why didn't anyone come up with this before? Because Daniel B. Brown was the perfect voice for "Roll Over, Hitler!" He's funny, but cuts like a knife with his insight. What happens when a Jew is elected president? You have to find out!!!"
