Hinkley County

Hinkley County is a timely fictional satire about the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department of a rural mid-western county. The plot revolves around the misguided adventures of the county elected officials, their employees, and their official (and sometimes unofficial) activities. The humor extends to the far reaches of the federal bureaucracy as the hero is propelled into a Mr. Smith goes to Washington mission that reveals the true meaning of wasted tax dollars. Although irony runs rampant throughout the story, there remains an acknowledgement of the basic rural American values that allow the reader to find respite from the implied truth about power and politics.
