What's Next in D. D. Scott-ville?
Happy Tuesday, D. D. Scott-ville!
What a superfab first week for my latest release LIP GLOCK - Book Two of The Cozy Cash Mysteries!!!
In just its first 5 days of availability, it's sold almost 100 copies!!!
Thanks sooo much all you beyond wonderful D. D. Scott-ville peeps, readers and fans!!!
I'm havin' such a ball writing these Cozy Cash Mysteries, and I can hardly wait to share each new book with you!!!
Speaking of which, I thought I'd give y'all a Sneak Peek at what you'll see coming soon from my D. D. Scott Bootscootin' and Cozy Cash Mystery Worlds.
So here's the scoop:
October 2011
The debut short story in The Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem Mysteries - FLUID FULFILLMENT - will be released!!
What are The Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem Mysteries?
I've had sooo many of you request new stories featuring my Bootscootin' Books and Cozy Cash Mysteries Mom Squad Characters. So I decided I'd treat y'all to short stories! Each story will feature at least one of The Mom Squad quirky-crazy, blue-haired Charlie's Angels wanna-be's! You'll get to meet their extended families PLUS learn the unique skill each Mom Squad Member has been trained-to by The Cozy Cash Mysteries' QuarterMaster R.
Rumor has it, FLUID FULFILLMENT features Roxy's mom Lily Vaughn, who some say is now fairly gifted in Ju-Jitsu.
Rumor also has it, FLUID FULFILLMENT will be available not only on its own but also as a special bonus in the first ever D. D. Scott Special Edition Boxed Set which will include all three Bootscootin' Books plus both Cozy Cash Mysteries in an amazing "5 for 5 Special" with super-cool extras included...just in time for the Holiday Season!!!
And speaking of the 2011 Holiday Season...
Thanksgiving 2011
The inaugural Naked Hero Christmas Anthology - MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE - will be released, featuring my first ever Cozy Cash Christmas Story - HULLABALOO AND HOLLY TOO - plus superfab Christmas novellas from the amazing Tonya Kappes, Lee Lopez, a mystery guest author from across the pond (as in a UK Author), plus Misa Ramirez/Melissa Bourbon too!
I'm over the moon for HULLABALOO AND HOLLY TOO - think Will and Kate gone Bond, James Bond in The Grinch's Who-ville.
Now then...for 2012:
Rumor has it, you can expect a Mom Squad Mini-Mayhem Mysteries Collection, as well as at least three more Cozy Cash Mysteries and a couple other waaay wonderful releases too!!!
Now that's some superfab muse rockin', right?!
Nothin' beats treatin' my readers and fans to great books for great prices!!!

Over the last year, 5500 of you have joined my D. D. Scott-ville Bootscootin' and Cozy Cash Mystery Worlds!!!
I can't believe it was just a year ago I decided I'd heard this - from traditional NY Publishers - for the last time:
"We love your voice, D. D., and your books too. You are really very funny. But we just can't sell these kind of books in today's market."
Well...guess what, NY?
I can sell 'em, and I have sold 'em...to the tune of over 5500 copies in just the first year!!!
But again, it's not that I've sold that number of copies that matters most to me...
It's that I've reached 5500 readers!!! I've made 5500 readers and fans LOL!!! Nothin' matters more to me than that!
So with LIP GLOCK's release, comes a huge 'ole Thank You from all my heart and soul!!!

Behind & Beyond My Books: LIP GLOCK and The Amalfi Coast
Happy Tuesday, D. D. Scott-ville, and welcome to another edition of Behind & Beyond My Books!
This time, I'm givin' ya the inside scoop on the new setting for my August release - LIP GLOCK - Book Two of my Cozy Cash Mysteries.
So buckle-up...we're on the way to...
Positano Italy and its superfab Amalfi Coast
Check this out:
How fantabulously beautiful is that?!
Wouldn't you luuuvvv to be sitting on the balcony of that hotel...with that kinda crazy-wonderful view?!
Well that's where my Cozy Cash Mystery heroine Zoey Witherspoon and her Secret Bond hero Roman Bellesconi, Prince-of-Many-Names end-up very soon after Page One of their next adventure LIP GLOCK!
We're talkin' all-things-Positano and The Amalfi Coast, Italian mafia, lemon trees and limoncello, plus gelato and Vespas along with a few, superfab fun surprises (***hint...see my previous post on LIP GLOCK's Swine Element).
Thanks to comments (and in this case, Amazon 5-Star Reviews) like these from my superfab readers and fans:
"As soon as I read her first book, "Bootscootin' Blahniks," I put all her books on my Kindle. They have it all ... romance, high fashion, adorable animals, feisty women, gorgeous guys, quirky characters, good food, great dancing .... The ultimate escape without spending a fortune on a vacation." --- Pj Schott
"...think of Zoey Witherspoon as Jason Bourne - with a good set of French tips and a designer holster for her Glock.
The difference is, D.D. is a master at making you laugh while both you and Zoey are hanging by your fingernails, over the edge of her latest cliff. Like a lot of the characters in D.D.'s latest book, Thug Guard just plain kills.
Buy it. Read it. Laugh your hindquarters off. And don't say I didn't warn you." --- Jeff Lee
I knew I could give y'all another Jason Bourne-esque comedic caper set in the amazing Amalfi Coast of Positano Italy!
LIP GLOCK will be available in August!!!
I sooo can't wait to treat you to another Zoey Witherspoon and Roman Bellesconi thrill ride...this time...on Bond-style Vespa Scooters!!!
Ciao!!!

Behind and Beyond My Books (LIP GLOCK): The Swine Element
Happy Tuesday, D. D. Scott-ville!
Boy...did me and The DH have a huge aha moment this weekend!!!
Yep...The DH was actually helping me brainstorm plotting ideas for my August release LIP GLOCK - Book Two of The Cozy Cash Mysteries.
And here's a hint at what we came-up with:
That's right...LIP GLOCK and all the Cozy Cash Mysteries hereafter will have a big-time...
"Swine" Element!!!
No more hints for now...just know that the Cozy Cash Mysteries do deal with...
A. A Ton of "swine"-like thugs
B. Tons of wine-and-dining in Zoey and Roman's royal, red-carpet worlds...or could that be "swine"-and-dining? LOL!
C. A ton of Cozy Cash-style crimes in the worlds of Wall Street and the "pork" barrel politics influencing all that money and those markets
D. And certainly tons of various "bring home the bacon" angles
R U gettin' the Piggly-Wiggly picture now?! LOL! Do they have even Piggly-Wiggly groceries in Europe? I'll have to research that...LOL!
And u betchya, there's gonna be a ton of Bond-style mud-slingin' goin' on too!
So there you have it...LIP GLOCK and its Swine Element...a total "out-of-money experience" or so says the too cute Piggy Bank the DH bought me Saturday at a Cracker Barrel Restaurant and Shop!

Behind & Beyond My Books (LIP GLOCK): Writing Page One
Happy Thursday, D. D. Scott-ville!
And welcome to my first Behind & Beyond My Books for my next release LIP GLOCK - Book Two of The Cozy Cash Mysteries - which will be released in August!
So...how is it...that an author gets to the point when he or she can write that first page of a book?
Well...for me, that first page begins in a series of images, that, for whatever reason, grab-hold of my muses and scream 'oh yeahhh...you're writing this one about these things'!
For example, for LIP GLOCK, here's what my muses are demanding of me...
And here's the result...
SPOILER ALERT!!!
LIP GLOCK (Page One...plus a wee bit more):
CHAPTER ONE
Life in a castle ain’t all it’s cracked-up to be.
Especially when you’ve arrived here after being at the wrong end of a Glock.
A Glock held to your chest by a woman old enough to be your Granny, and who’s endowed with these monster-sized lips, formed into a maybe-evil-maybe-not, super-botoxed, Cheshire Cat-style grin.
And I mean it...Granny Veruschka’s lips take-up half her damn face. A face that once graced the world’s top fashion magazines, with a body attached that also got her on every hot catwalk. But now, a face that had seen one too many botox injections, and a body, although still sleek and cat-like, was currently filled with who knew what the hell kinda motivation to be holding me at Glock-point.
So now...here I sit, in my fave of all positions – the fetal position...my new M.O. –gazing at the Actaeon sculpture in the cascade of the castle grounds now holding me hostage.
Not familiar with the story of Actaeon?
Here’s the scoop...
Actaeon is an iconic motif used in ancient art, both Renaissance and post-Renaissance, in which a hunter becomes the hunted.
Are you starting to get why I’m in the fetal position staring down good ‘ole Actaeon?
Let me make it perfectly clear and paint y’all a rather disturbing snapshot.
Actaeon was once a hunter of stag and wolves, but now, thanks to Artemis, another Greek Mythology big-shot, Actaeon was a stag himself, with the wolves he used to hunt now about to rip him apart.
Kinda the story of my life the last couple weeks.
I’m Zoey Witherspoon, a fairly new, badge-toting P.I., who’s been on Thug Guard hunting a twisted bundle of Ponzi-scheming turds throughout both The States then Europe too, along with my Secret Bond – as in James Bond-esque - Roman Bellesconi, Prince-of-Many-Names, and now his Granny Veruschka too.
Except the strangest thing happened on my way to get my all-things-green Naked Juice, my fellow hunters – Roman and his could-be-lethal Granny – decided I was the one to be hunted.
At least that’s the impression I got.
But maybe that’s just me, and there was another reason good ‘ole Granny had a Glock pointed at my Gucci blouse in the parking lot of the Jiffy Mart back in Music City.
Not like I’d know said reason...because Roman and his Could-Be-Lethal Granny had so far refused to tell me shit!
I’m tellin’ ya...life in a castle ain’t all it’s cracked-up to be...not when you don’t have a God damn clue how or why you’re here.
Okay...so maybe I had the tiniest of ideas “why” I’m here.
‘Course that was before Granny drugged me and got me all comfy in the family kingdom’s private jet for a flight across the pond...then into Milan...and straight to Castle Command Central.
Thus the fetal position...
And...oh shit...here comes Granny...
Now...from here, I'll spend a couple weeks fine-tuning these first couple pages, along with writing the first three chapters.
The first three chapters of each book are the toughest for me, and thus, take the most time.
That's when I'm really fleshing-out my characters and plot-points.
Once I've nailed these first three chapters, I can write the rest of the book in about four to six weeks.
I'm writing at a pace of one book every two to three months now...and that's sooo workin' for me and my muses and my readers and fans too!
It's Your Turn, D. D. Scott-ville: What questions do you have about my writing process or are there any of my characters you're dyin' to read more of...and no worries..."Yes, your fave Mom Squad is back in LIP GLOCK...and OMG are they outta control!!!"
