Jonathon Braxton: Political Fiction (unfortunately)
In the spring of 2012 an unlikely transformational figure, by way of chance occurrences, inadvertently breaches the perimeter of the U.S. political world.

Jonathon Braxton has just crossed his 40th birthday and has captured the American dream in Southern California as a successful tech sector entrepreneur. He is surrounded by a loving family, adoring employees and local business and civic leaders grateful for his generosity and creative approaches to solving local community problems.

His accomplishments, accompanied by his astute business acumen, common sense, sense of humor, philanthropy, total transparency and unmistakable wit, bring him onto the radar of influential political operatives and his local U.S. Congressman.

After witnessing JB deliver an impassioned speech at a local economic development conference, Congressman Earl Gregory, and the brothers Carlton and Cornelius Hale, conclude he is the fresh face the Republican party has been seeking, and attempt to recruit him. JB, however, is completely apathetic and dismissive of their efforts, until a couple of happenstance events change his thinking. A change that leads to tectonic shifts in the U.S. political landscape no one could have predicted.

Unencumbered by political ambition, devoid of greed, without lust for power, and fueled solely by a desire to advocate for a cure to the disease afflicting his son, Jonathon Braxton reluctantly enters the arena.

And it's not a fair fight as the enigmatic, straight-shooting JB, over the course of four years, surgically (and hysterically) reshapes Congress, Sunday morning cable TV beltway talk shows and Washington DC political norms, while escorting both the Republican and Democrat parties to the brink of extinction.

The story of Jonathon Braxton is one of humor, hope and inspiration for anyone interested in better government and/or finding the cure for Type 1 diabetes.

About the Author

The story of Jonathon Braxton mirrors the life experiences of its author, Stephen R. Marks.

Marks owned and operated a small technology services firm in Thousand Oaks, California from 1987 to 2018. And he witnessed first-hand, with a niece, the difficulties suffered by those afflicted by, and those caring for the afflicted of, Type 1 diabetes.

Marks served on the Los Angeles Board of Directors for JDRF, the world's largest advocacy group for supporting efforts to provide better preventions, treatments, and ultimately the cure for Type 1, from 2011 to 2017. Over the course of his involvement, he was directly responsible for over $250,000 in donations.

Marks has always been fascinated by politics and developed his story to merge his two interests of contributing to better government and advocating for a cure for T1D. He has a sequel to Jonathon Braxton in process to bring more awareness to both.
