Where Has D. D. Gone

Where oh where has D. D. gone?

Has she run off somewhere new to play

I miss her, and her special way

Of helping me cope with the day.

A month ago she ruled my head

Five thousand words a day

Spilled from my head

Through my fingers and onto this screen

Now if I write, it is with some dread

For the words no longer spill from my head.

Now when I write, it takes an effort from me

Now when I close my eyes, there are no words to see.

And it’s not just my writing this is showing the strain

Of wondering when or if D. D. will take control again.

My desire and motivation for what I love in my life

Have slipped away, like butter on a hot knife.

My life is now full of quick bursts and spurts

Like the kittens I watch throughout the day.

Fifteen minutes of frantic energy alone or with friends

Then two hours of blissful rest, shared with those same friends.

When D. D. was here, it was the same but different for me

Fifteen minutes of rest, followed by two hours of writing.

But with D. D. on vacation, or wherever she is gone

I seem to just be drifting and stumbling my life no longer a song.

I am excited about this book, and it's potential for becoming a series.

I am adding a photograph of what I believe will be the cover for this book, followed by what I plan to use as the promotional text for the book, on all publisher and book seller sites.

Five Crazy Days in May

Profile:  This story, like so many others I have written, just seemed to flow out of me.  The desire to write a mystery or adventure novel has lain dormant for more years than I care to remember.  Plus as my readers know, I enjoy having fun with names.  Somehow the two managed to find each other within my gray matter, and then to find a hole to slip into, where apparently they hatched a plan to join forces and create, “Five Crazy Days in May” From the Files of: Lickety Split Consulting and Detective Agency, complete with a cast of characters, most of whom have names that the reader can let their imagination run wild with.

   Once they got the story started they let me in on the plan, and for the next sixteen days they basically took over my mind, and body, and the story was put to paper, or into bits and bytes, on my laptop.  I truly had no idea of where the story was going, or how it would end, until it actually showed up on the screen in front of me.

   When the words came to an end, and my fingers stopped moving on the keyboard, before me lay a mystery/thriller that takes place in multiple countries, and involves both government agencies, and underworld groups. (I’ll let the reader decide which is which.) Features a group of characters, mostly women, with names with dual meanings and or innuendos. (My tribute to Ian Fleming)in a story that I hope is the first of a number of stories from, “The Files Of Lickety Split Consulting and Detective Agency”
