shadowkatPublished a book - available here: https://www.createspace.com/5401326?ref=1147694&utm_id=6026
Will be available within the next two weeks on Amazon.com and Amazon Europe. Coming soon to other retail outlets, and to Kindle.
Doing Time on Planet Earth is a character-driven dark comedy/off-beat mystery that’s filled with snarky satire, dry wit, and absurd situations as three very different individuals find their lives intertwining in the strangest of ways.
Caddy Thompson is the most “normal” of the three, even though she’s severely depressed because she can’t find a job and has no real friends outside her online TV series fan discussion boards.
The opening of the book finds Caddy on a mission to do herself in. But a man on the subway notices her nervousness. It’s his business to notice things, being a private detective, and he follows Caddy after she exits the subway to prevent her from doing herself harm, which he succeeds at—for the most part.
This apparently British man goes by the name Fiske, and he has been pursuing an identity thief named Faith who embezzled millions from his family’s casino and hotel chain in Las Vegas.
So, several days later, when Fiske runs into Caddy at the concert he has tracked his suspect to and Caddy’s companion “Hope,” a fellow fan of the hit TV show Spywitch, suddenly ducks out, well, things start to get very interesting!
(Here's the description on the back cover:
Unable to find work, romantically challenged, and with only her “net buds,” the anonymous members of her TV series fan discussion boards to turn to, Caddy is ready to call it quits. She has the gun her father gave her for protection, but there’s one small problem: she has no idea how to use it.
Fiske, a private investigator who changed his identity from Hispanic to Londoner, complete with a fake British accent, notices Caddy’s nervousness on the subway and confronts her as she’s attempting to end her life.
Hope, an identity thief and embezzler who collects Loony Tunes action figures, is one of Caddy’s net buds, a fellow obsessed fan of the wildly popular TV show Spywitch. She’s also the subject of Fiske’s current investigation.
Dark humor, cynical satire, and quirky characters drive this ultimately uplifting tale reminding us to make the most of our time here on earth.)
