Sylvia Larsen, Past President of the New Hampshire State Senate, writes, “Author Gary Patton offers up a comedic romp through the twisted paths of New Hampshire politics. With tongue-in-cheek humor, we gain real insights into the inner workings of the Granite State’s byzantine political system.”
“Gary Patton’s ‘Selling Mt. Washington’ is achingly pleasant and irreverent, sure to appeal to anyone with an opinion on politics. A skillful satirist, Patton also displays a gift for irony and droll humor that made me laugh out loud on nearly every page.” Andy Weir, Chair, Hampstead (NH) Democratic Committee.

“While Gary Patton’s characters are fictional, his grasp of New Hampshire politics is too painfully true. You will recognize more than one familiar tradition and face in his satiric narrative. A fun read. Highly recommended for political junkies.” Marcia Moody, New Hampshire State Representative.
“We are off and selling a great new book from an essential New Hampshire writer.” Dan Chartrand, Owner, Water Street Bookstore, Exeter, NH.
