Greetings all,
I have completed my Novel "The Hidden Republic: Kink's Pawn" and I am trying to find the right Agent. Because this is an Action Adventure, Political Thriller, and Historical Fiction, I am finding it really difficult to find an Agent for this book.
It has duel time lines. One in the Past when the American Republic was first set up during and after the American Revolution (1772 - 1801), and the other in current time. Here is a brief synopsis;
Two clandestine societies form after the revolution and have been battling in secret for control of the Federal Government ever since. This 230 year war is about to spill into the open as a race to find hidden documents that can destroy one of the societies is on. Conspiracies abound as agents, assassins, and the powerful elitists do battle in the past and the present.
It’s 1781 and England is losing the war to the young American Republic. King George must use his most secret pawn, called the Praetor, who has gained power in the rouge colonial government through intrigue and deception. The Praetor can not turn the outcome of the war, but he can change the very fabric of the government to destroy it from within. The Founding Fathers struggle to keep him at bay but are losing the fight against his secret Society of Praetorians as they confound the people and gain power. Determined to protect the Republic style of government, the Founders form their own Society to protect the hidden truth locking it away in the hope that some future generation will be able to reinstitute it. Meanwhile the cultural and economic chasm between North and South grows ever wider as each side fights for Federal control.
Fast forward to 2012 and a small Texas town where Emily and Jim Millers’ two young daughters are kidnapped off the morning school bus and held for ransom; the ransom being the key to the hidden documents. Somehow her family is involved and she must find the answers that can save the girls. The problem is, handing over the documents will destroy any hope the American people might have to regain control of their out of control Federal Government. She begins a life altering frantic journey with a trio of FBI agents, a history professor, and a world class rogue assassin, in a desperate search on the grounds of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticelloto find the truth. The Society of Praetorians will do everything they can to stop them and if the Praetorians triumph it will mean the colossus Federal government will never be stopped and the people will forever wallow under the whip of tyranny.
So it is National Treasure meets LOTR in reality.
Can anyone recommend a good Agent for this genre? The catch is I use real events in the past to show the corruption of many of the founders who were bent on power and control. It's kind of like "12 Angry Men" when they face off before, during, and after the Constitutional Convention.
I'm thinking someone who holds to the Southern version of the Civil War with a Jeffersonian anti-Federalist take, since that was the dream most of the founders held. State Sovereignty, Nullification, and Secession, are main themes as well as many of the misrepresentations we believe are true.
Several weeks of searching all the Agents listings on the web as well as in the Agent directories in my public library have left me with no names. Every query I send comes back with "they do not agent this type of book."
My website is my name.
Please Help!!
Thanks,
