No apologies (though that would be traditional) for my self-promotion: I've written a social thriller, Mississippi Reckoning http://www.mississippi-reckoning.com/ , which while not featuring nonviolence, tells the story of the nonviolent movement of the 1960s which I was part of, as well as stories from Black history that explain where it came from. Within a tense frame story. Praised participants in that movement like legendary freedom rider Diane Nash and historian Eric Foner.

I hadn’t thought about an alternative to the constant barrage of violence in our media. Looking forward to reading this book!
I've never thought about the paucity of nonviolent strategies depicted in action/political fiction, so thanks for pointing it out.
