Les Cochran served as public educator for thirty-eight years; beginning as a high school teacher and concluding as presi

Les Cochran I just completed "Presidential Affair" It's the intriguing conclusion of my “Love, Lies and Liaisons” trilogy. Check it out.

Here's a quick synopsis:
As the first female president of the United States, Janet Stetson is the most powerful woman in the world, but to Steve Schilling she’s much more than that. The two form the perfect team — on the Hill during the day and in the White House at night — he treats her like no man ever before.

Together they develop a plan to reform the nation’s beleaguered public schools and successfully gain support from both sides of the aisle to pass legislation that revolutionizes our public school system.

While she’s making tough decisions, he’s involved with other women creating a “Steve-a-mania” epidemic. And when his sexual encounters extend beyond the White House, there’s an attempted assassination of president.

The Secret Service, FBI, CIA and NSA work together like never before to uncover those responsible for this treasonous act.
