About the Author

While Enough is fiction, Tony has been around journalism for more than 76 of his 77 years. He was less than a month old when printers' ink was applied to his feet and the images made on newsprint as his sportswriter father held him.

Enough features the interaction of journalism and the brand of rough and tumble politics found in southern West Virginia in 1960.

Editorial Reviews

"There's nothing like a good old fashioned story about political corruption in West Virginia to pique a reader's interest. Hylton uses his experience in the newspaper business to weave a page-turner of a tale that will leave the reader cheering for principled small-town journalism."

Award-winning broadcaster, Vice President of Operations, WAJR Radio, moderator of award-winning "Talkline" radio show - Hoppy Kercheval

"Enough is a compelling narrative describing the machinations of a venal county political machine. Set in Southern West Virginia during the famous 1960 John F. Kennedy Presidential primary, Tony Hylton exposes the tawdry details of exercising power in a corrupt political system. He also captures the determined efforts of a brave newspaperman to clean it up. Enough is a fast moving and intriguing read."

Retired former Director of the Executive Office for United States Attorneys Department of Justice, Washington, D. C. Ser - H. Marshall Jarrett

"Hylton's experience as a small town newspaper editor/publisher makes this novel more than just a good read. It is a seldom-revealed window into the way corrupt political systems operate, regardless of their location, and provides evidence of the value of an honest non-compromised free press to all of us."
