This book is the result of wondering if I could write one.

I wrote it to appeal to me. I’m told I’m not normal, so if you enjoy this you can be comfortable in the knowledge that you’re not like everyone else.

It’s designed to raise a smile and cause you to reflect how stupid we can be as a race.

Trent thought a little white lie would have no consequence. He believed he lived in a rational world. He considered extraterrestrials fiction. Global warming wasn’t a thing.

Trent was wrong.

After picking up a seemingly typical hitchhiker, Trent discovers he is anything but typical, and Trent’s ordered life is upended.

This unlikely pairing find themselves entangled in a Russian conspiracy with frightening implications. Not only is Trent's future at stake, but that of the planet.

The Lighting Effect is a quick-witted, satirical exposé of human nature and foibles through the eyes of an outsider on a journey of discovery.
