Penny Weaver and her friends are engaged in a tense political campaign to elect new Commissioners in imaginary Shagbark County, N.C. One of their opponents' campaign managers is killed, and their own leading candidate, African American Rick Clegg, is arrested. Then the campaign turns nasty. Their computer files are stolen. A big public relations firm is hired by Phoney Alway, Rick's opponent, to print sleazy postcards. Penny and her friends differ radically about how to deal with their opponents' below the belt and illegal behavior. The Sheriff's lead detective is baffled, so Penny and her friends solve the murder. One reviewer says this: Greed undercuts the friendly, diverse community of Shagbark County, North Carolina. Guarding their way of life, leaders emerge and discover that playing in local politics is like kissing a buzzing wasp nest with sunburnt lips on a summer afternoon. There is wisdom and warmth in the heroes and heroines of this tale. Novelist and poet Judy Hogan's new mystery, Political Peaches, is a tasty "cobbler" and treat you will enjoy. -Karl Kachergis, former Chair Chatham Democratic Party, 2007-11.

Judy Hogan is a post-menopausal zest woman with eight decades behind her when this book sees print. She is aging slowly and trying to keep up with her writing, publishing, teaching, and farming. Fortunately, she has lots of helpers these days. She still makes fig and pear preserves, sometimes muscadine grape jelly, spaghetti sauce, minestrone, vichyssoise, and lots of lemon balm and peppermint tea. She loves her white rock hens, who are fed organically and some folks think they give the best eggs in Chatham County. She understands that, because of climate change and difficult political events in her state and at the national level, that life will become more and more difficult for all of us, but she still hopes to live to a hundred and do some good along the way. She was privileged to work behind the scenes in Chatham politics between 2004 and 2006. No murders then, but there was anger and hatred. Nudge it a little, and there could have been murder. May we remember to treat all our neighbors and fellow citizens as human beings, wherever we live and work, and to treasure our diversity.
