Ok, fess up! Which one of you wrote "Let Them Eat Tea"? [View all]

It's hilarious!

Let Them Eat Tea is a political comedy romance sci fi adventure novel set a few years in the future. A new right wing political party has come to power, a composite of the former Libertarian party and TEA party. Among other cutbacks, the new regime is dismantling all public health services. The main character is a biochemist who loses his government job and relocates to a new job in the Caribbean. With a new Caribbean girlfriend, and friends both on the islands and back in the USA, he battles to stop a frightening epidemic that is quickly spreading to every country with a Caribbean coastline, including the now helpless USA.
