California State Senate

Pale Truth, Daniel Alef’s debut novel, the first of a trilogy in the California Chronicles, is a gripping tale of two people, Colbraith O’Brien from New York, and Mary Ellen from Georgia, as they struggle to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieve success. Colbraith, an Irish stonemason in New York in the 1840s, is strong, bright and intense. Short of money he becomes entangled in Tammany and gains some prominence. But coming from a working class background he rises too quickly for the aristocracy in Albany. They connive to destroy him and his political ascendancy – and succeed. His political future in ashes, an embittered Colbraith leaves for California in 1848, hell-bent on revenge and determined to become the first United States Senator when California becomes a state. Nothing will stop him. From birth Mary Ellen faces three strikes in life in the 1800s: she is partly black, a slave and a woman. Born on a plantation in Georgia she ultimately gains her freedom but finds that freedom is illusory. She, too, ends up in San Francisco determined to make a new life for herself and to achieve true freedom – economic power. Like Colbraith, nothing will stop her. San Francisco in early 1849 is a small town just in the grip of inconceivable growth and turmoil, all arising from the discovery of gold. Money flows with abandon. Lawlessness is the only order. The only remnant of government is the prior Mexican council. Mary Ellen and Colbraith find themselves mired in this teeming and unpredictable caldron. Still, they embark on their adventure filled with promise. There are no rules. Anything is possible. However, there is a price for success and the question they face is whether the price is too steep. Pale Truth is the story of Mary Ellen, Colbraith and many other historical characters who were prominent in the growth of San Francisco and California.

The California Dream becomes a hilarious nightmare when the Golden State's entire Latin American population mysteriously vanishes. For most, "the disappearance" forces the cracks in their private lives wide open, including TV news reporter Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi - "Like Water For Chocolate"), the state's last remaining Hispanic, and Senator Steven Abercrombie III (John Getz - "The Fly," "Curly Sue"), who becomes governor pro tem despite his anti-immigrant stance. In the ensuing panic, dubious experts pose some colorful theories: It's an alien abduction; an act of bio-terrorism; "The Rapture" has begun and Latinos are God's chosen. Confusion, misunderstandings and humorous situations abound, making "A Day Without A Mexican" a comedic satire and a modern fable with a very current message. This sleeper hit, which features the final film appearance by Mexican heart-throb Eduardo Palomo, delighted and inspired both English- and Spanish-speaking audiences during its theatrical run, and will continue to do so for years to come.
