Summary:I posted the first 18 chapters of this book back in 2008. But I am reposting it in its entirety as I have undertaken a significant rewrite of the book.
Cash register, PI, takes the job of finding the missing wife of a very strange, little mystic. The mystic thinks the Spirits of the Great Beyond have take her to punish her. As Cash tackles this unusual case, he has to deal with his mother, who is convinced she is a reincarnation of Annie Oakley; his ditzy receptionist; a too-old-for-her-age eleven year-old daughter; an ex-wife and a budding romance. And don't forget the arrogant clown and the green-haired punk rock musician.
The humor is a bit over-the-top in places, but I intended it that way...just so you know!
Please feel free to comment and/or critique as you choose to. All feedback is helpful. Thanks so much for taking time to read this. AlanChapters: |

Summary:Charles "Cash" Register is a Private Investigator whose new case is to reclaim the missing wife of a weird little mystic from the "Spirits of the Great Beyond." His mother thinks she is a reincarnation of Annie Oakley. She's very handy with a lasso. His assistant is a gorgeous but ditzy blonde who's built like the best brick outhouse money can buy. She has a lot of skin to cover in places. Somehow she always has a little trouble keeping it adequately covered. When Chuck-A-Roo the Clown; Cedrick the Sissy; and old, senile Mrs. Snodgrass and her dog get involved, it becomes a calamity.
The humor is a little silly and over-the-top in places.
BEWARE: There is a lot of sexual inuendo, adult situations and adult language. And yes, our P.I. is a bit chauvanistic at times.
Any comments you would care to make are welcomed. Anything from a general "I like it" or "I don't like it" to a lengthy technical critique would be fine.
I am writing this as I go. I have completed but four chapters at this point. I was rather reluctant to do it this way. But, what the heck. It will force me to work hard on it. Problem is...I don't have a clue where the story is going yet! Should be interesting!
Thanks in advance.Chapters: |
