Dew has officially removed Stir from Distribution and from Lulu, both the download and paperback copies. The only way to get Stir is if you buy Illicit Escapes or the download version if you have Kindle. This change will take time for Amazon to reflect, but reflect they must. It’s good sometimes when you own your own copyright. There you have it romance readers. So here, as I say goodbye, I will talk about things I like about Stir by Dew Platt. With Keisha and her sister Dew reflected two sides to a woman, without debasing either and without the usual crappy stereotype usually associated with it.
With Detective Lawrence Dew gives a psychological estimation of a promiscuous man. With the conversation between Keisha’s sister and Detective Lawrence, and how he kept trying to find the weakness in her, Dew hints on how some men are threatened by smart women, and sometimes prefers weaker women. On that subject Dew says, “Promiscuity is sometimes a symptom of inferior complexes, and the constant need to validate the opposite.”
If you read Stir, and didn’t get that, go back and read it again. I love it when I get Dew Platt, and I believe I am lucky to be able to do it. When you get someone, your confidence in them is unshakeable. Ladies, gentlemen, and romance readers, it is with confidence plus the need for progress that I tell you that The Adventures of Silli Page: the Case of Benjamin Laire is coming to Kindle. The excerpt will be available for anyone in the world to see. If you have not read Darkness Abiding yet, I think you should and afterwards ask yourself, “WHO’S REALLY BAD?” I will blog about this and Dew’s spectacular entry of You and I and the Nature Within (The DA Soundtrack) in my irtblog. I love it!
Silli Page is no ordinary teenager with her sleepwalking and lucid daydreams. But when fifteen year old Benjamin Laire drops dead after a lab accident, she begins a new adventure in reality. Molly, her best friend, believes his death wasn’t an accident. To find the truth she’ll need the help of three unlikely people; the Englishman who, due to her foolish actions wants nothing to do with her and the two thirteen year old geek boys she and Molly often bully. Can they all stand together to ask—did someone plan Benjamin’s death to look like an accident?
Young adults, the adventure indeed begins with Silli Page and the case of Benjamin Laire. This book is indeed meant to be funny and serious all the same. I believe I will meet Susan’s deadline if I can just stop laughing and trying to think so softly. I have created characters I indeed like very much, ones even I, the creator has fun with. Something also new in this book is that there is no goody-two-shoes. If you read the synopsis, you already have an indication of this.
One thing I can make certain today is that the excerpt for this book will be available no later than two weeks from now. And by that time, I will have the cast, five of them in this investigative team ready for you with their profiles on my site and some other things I may want to say about the book. Young Adults, you’re chilling with Author Dew Platt and you don’t know it yet but in my blogs. You will know it very soon in the excerpt and on Kindle.
THE SYNOPSIS
Silli Page is no ordinary teenager with her sleepwalking and lucid daydreams. But when fifteen year old Benjamin Laire drops dead after a lab accident, she begins a new adventure in reality. Molly, her best friend, believes his death wasn’t an accident. To find the truth she’ll need the help of three unlikely people; the Englishman who, due to her foolish actions wants nothing to do with her and the two thirteen year old geek boys she and Molly often bully. Can they all stand together to ask—did someone plan Benjamin’s death to look like an accident?
Be it creation or evolution, it must be ideal that nature asks for forgiveness every time an animal hunts and kills another for food. I do not want to go into it with regards to humans, the evolved specie…uhn…at least superficially it seems we are not cannibals, unless hugely perverted…uhn. When Susan informed readers in What happened with Darkness Abiding that I was listening to Linkin Park’s What I’ve Done, she didn’t know just how much the need for forgiveness extended beyond humans. This is the hardest of truth whether it is with regards to creation or evolution, so I’ll appoint the blame to nature…and get back to life. So when nature says like Linkin Park, “Forgive me what I’ve done,” to which part of your nature will this be in reference to? When you read Darkness Abiding you may see why nature may apologize for either. The first song on my list is no doubt Linkin Park’s What I’ve done.
What would God look like if ever found? I surmise, because she (I say she, you may choose what you may) is spirit and works in mysterious ways, he would have to be nothing expected. He could indeed be found smoking his last cigarette on the corner of 1st and Amistad or on 60th street near Central Park. But if he were to be profiled by characteristics and traits alone, he’s nothing close to human and if he were, he would be the least expected if not something new. Where may you find your God? If evolutionists have a God, it must be in their nature or they become fatalistic in essence. So here we come back to nature again. You found me by The Fray is second on my list.
There are good souls in this life and their goodness is found in the works of their hands. For those of good senses, in the presence of great evil, good must be appreciated. Those humanitarian doctors and health workers who give without getting much back in Africa and the rest of the world, and those who constantly sustain the elevation of bare essentials in the human element, I respect you immensely. But this entry is to assert one great truth. The truth is you can try all you may but sometimes you fail. How to save a life ultimately belongs to…well…it depends on who you ask, or if you ask it at all. One thing is certain—sometimes you fail. If you already read Darkness Abiding, then you understand. If not, well, go get it. The third on my list is How to Save a Life, by once again, The Fray.
Could bad ever be the mere overturn of good? It doesn’t feel like it though, does it? In a chaotic world, what happens to good or bad? And how much sense can we make of it all if at all? Darkness Abiding prowls on very many premises and a situation where evil may be necessitated is in the book. The fourth on my list is Michael Jackson’s Bad. I am not so fond of the word, “sanity,” used as though it legitimately prescribes a norm. Why you ask? Because we’re all constantly trying to make sense of a world coming out of senselessness (evolutionists) or that which is a cruel world born of good (religion). But finally, to make sense of it all is Five For Fighting’s The Riddle (You and I). I especially like this sentence, “There’s a reason for the world—You and I.” You may want to sing it sometime when you’re angry and frustrated. The “I” alone is not bad either. This is an episode of RecordsonwithDew and all videos for this blog will be available onDewlogic – a dedication to quality fiction and nonfiction.
You are chilling with author Dew Platt. And no doubt Young Adults, Yes! You are. The blogs that comes in immediately after this explains why you are. Adults may not want to miss out on Silli Page as well. Why you ask? Because the excerpt will tell you why when it’s available.

I have no doubt Dew will be able to keep you in suspense till the young adult book is ready, but I can’t. I am once again honored to introduce the next book by Dew Platt coming to Kindle. I made some promises I couldn’t keep. But there is one I will make now that I can keep—The Adventures of Silli Page: the Case of Benjamin Laire will be coming to Kindle soon. YOUNG ADULTS there is no doubt in my mind the ADVENTURE starts here! Oh yes it does! And because I am excited to read all of it, I imposed a deadline which you can read on The Deadline. But wait for the best part before you go, the Cover and the Synopsis. Have you read Darkness Abiding yet? No doubt in my mind you absolutely should. The excerpt of the book will be coming your way before the book gets to Kindle. Here is the Cover and the synopsis.
THE COVER
THE SYNOPSIS
Silli Page is no ordinary teenager with her sleepwalking and lucid daydreams. But when fifteen year old Benjamin Laire drops dead after a lab accident, she begins a new adventure in reality. Molly, her best friend, believes his death wasn’t an accident. To find the truth she’ll need the help of three unlikely people; the Englishman who, due to her foolish actions wants nothing to do with her and the two thirteen year old geek boys she and Molly often bully. Can they all stand together to ask—did someone plan Benjamin’s death to look like an accident?
Uh la uh la uh la la la…I can’t shake this feeling! I can’t shake the feeling of excitement because I just read the beginning pages of the young adult mystery Dew Platt is writing. There are lots of reasons to be excited. Which gets me to what I’m about to say. I wanted to give a modern definition of a witch, and Dew cautions that I should differentiate between the good and bad witch, informs that the modern term is Wiccan. But I shrug because you should be able to know whether I’m talking about a good or bad witch in the way that I define it.
So a witch(okay, here I say a bad one)is someone who for reasons of greed, of slight, of envy or otherwise no reason at all, tries to derail the progress of another. And yes, the more modern attachment, Dew adds, is that the witch or witches must have the means or at least assumes possession of the means by which these evil deeds can be done which is not limited to spells, incantations and concoctions (romance readers, take note here!). In other words she continues (I love this part), the modern witch (bad, bad ones only) can use modern means to achieve such evil aims. Not any different than the witch who uses ancient means.
I have hinted at such things in the irtblog entry The Greed, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But I will be doing no hinting today. Young adults, you will meet author Dew Platt soon and you do not need Legacy, the Becoming to do it. They said they will be out in a few weeks, but it is pretty clear that was a lie (which is not new at all). Dew presses Amazon US to remove Legacy, and they agree. But here it is, the plot thickens as every other Amazon has it and Amazon UK promises a 1-3 weeks disbursement. Every other place that had it before except Barnes & Nobles still has it. Englanders here I stop and say that Dew says you rock out loud. How much? One of the characters in the mystery is a British immigrant and someone has a very soft spot for him…well…uhn. Wait for it!
Where is Amazon UK going to get this book? Dew Platt has all rights, and every right to Legacy, the Becoming. You are the witness of this statement. And it is with the utmost right invested upon me (laugh here I command you) that I say again, Parker Publishing should clear out! Now, if you followed some of my irtblog, it’s been a pretty long time since I’ve been saying it. I will repeat that Parker Publishing has no rights to sell, distribute or share this book in any way shape or form. Dew says it’s a matter of trust or some measure of it and everywhere she looks she cannot find it. Then she says it’s her work and if as much as one page reaches the public without her consent, the rest goes beyond saying. So I say again, this time you cannot hide or do your sneaky tricks—Parker Publishing should clear out!
Young adults if you read Darkness Abiding, then you’re already quick on your feet when I say hell goes beyond fiery pits. In facts it may have no fires at all. The mystery is going to make you feel something else entirely different, something the mix of fiery hell, earth and heaven, because it is silly and serious at the same time. I love it! And it’s not even finished. Not one single character is perfect and…they are so much (more in this case than Legacy) full of faults and yet so amazing to be with. And one adult gets a place in the investigative team. Ladies and Gentlemen I am full of excitement because Dew is onto something else, very different. It is something I will be honored to introduce when it’s done. Now of what a modern witch may be? I don’t know. I just gave you what I think they are. But meanwhile, you may want to visit the Darkness Abiding Page.
I asked Dew about the blog she promised romance readers and she goes, “Are you kidding? I have to figure out how someone will kill a teenager and almost unerringly {big word huh!} get away with it. What do you think?” I was thinking will she ever write romance again. “Who’s going to tell them about intellectual orgasm?” I asked. She laughs. “Well they’ve been getting this stuff somewhere.” I smile. “There is no one crazy enough to think or say something like that but you. And a promise is a promise,” I said. {Got your back romance readers! Gave her one.}
Then she turned it on, the music antennae because she’ll rather not discuss things. “You’re not getting it. You’re not getting it.” I thought Beyonce instantly but wasn’t sure what song it was. So I say, “say what say what say what?” She goes, “When I say no, no, no, no, no, I mean no, no, no, no, no.” You know that one right. Dew was pulling a Beyonce (whose music she loves by the way {if you read her blogs you know this}) on me.
The first one I was told is from Kitty Kat and the second I know is from Destiny’s child No. No, No which she twisted. There you go romance readers. I’m chronicling the course of events. But what do I know. You’ll probably get the meaning of intellectual orgasm from your favorite romance author. Meanwhile romance readers, meet the sci-fi/action thriller/ mystery writer. Well you met her already. She’s Dew Platt, a walking press dedicated to quality fiction and nonfiction (gist on The Writing Mind later). Check out the new Darkness Abiding trailer produced by me on its new page with blogs and excerpt on Dewlogic. Young adults, your mystery is next on Dew’s agenda. I can’t wait to introduce it when it’s done. Can you hear me sing? “I say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes…I say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!”
Darkness Abiding now has a new page on Dewlogic, where you’ll find the new trailer produced by Susan (And yes, you get a lot more information from the trailer). Youi’ll find all the blogs written or going to be written about it. And anything else I may have to add. Darkness Abiding on Dewlogic.
And in my notes, as Barnes and Nobles sets off its new ereader, I wonder “big business” and finally talk about The Kindle Cool. Young Adults I talk about what’s next–the mystery, which will be available on Kindle.
Amazon says no to free and Dew develops an unshakable work ethic. This is close to the somewhat bad news. I had promised that Dew Platt will pen a free mystery for young adults. She was getting to it and I met her half way. This will not happen. In one sense more than the other, it will not happen. Why you ask? Because people do not appreciate or respect free. Which brings me to the good news. Dew once again, puts a hold on the big project and will pen a young adult novelette or novella length mystery which will be available not free but as cheap as she can make it on Amazon Kindle. So young adults there you have it, the next thing from Dew Platt is a Young Adult mystery. It is next! And you bet it, it will be gooooood.
So I say, yes, yes, yes! I am excited because the character will be edgy, erratic and smart and her name is one of a kind. It is part of the title. Love it! But can’t say it, yet but I will eventually. Young adults Kindle or any good reading device is not a bad thing for Christmas. Dew says it’s better than an ipod, and that’s coming from someone who loves music, a lot. Which gets me to the beautiful, which I substituted for the ‘ugly.’ Because Dew has now put her mind to becoming her own publisher and distributing her own books, it may take a while to read Legacy, but you will get it, eventually, and that believe me, because of the darkness which abided over it, it is a beautiful turn. Young Adults you rock. Here is Susan keeping you in-the-know. Now, you’re the first to see it, the new Darkness Abiding Trailer, produced by me. And you thought Dew told you what to expect. Hmm. Not!
Yes! Here I am recommending Darkness Abiding to young adults. Yes, yes and yes! I read it again and decided it will be a sin not to tell you not to, “go get it!” Non stop sci-fi fantasy action and thrills that will affect you? You’ve got to have it. There is more to come from Dew Platt, so let’s get it. And besides, Legacy, a modern mystery/ supernatural fiction could not be brought to you when it was promised because of the darkness abiding over it—ain’t that life as we’re getting to know it YA’s?
I love Darkness Abiding so much I am making a book trailer for it and you’ll be the first to see the video. The reason Dew Platt chose Kindle is because she didn’t want it to go viral. “It’s my hard work,” she hums. But YA’s don’t be selfish with it, lend it to your friends, borrow it from your grandmothers. Goldeners rock Kindle! Oh yes they do! Ask, and it may be given. Hush, I didn’t tell you that. But I did tell you I have some news in my next blog entry on this blog—The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful. It will tell you what’s new and why I have to go back on a promise. And for the fun of it, I am doing Susan’s Cool Facts about Darkness Abiding my way later. Young adults, progressive wise readers, you rock! I have no doubt you will rock better with author Dew Platt. Take my word for it- It’s the cheapest great book you can find around!
From a total solar eclipse emerges a new force of evil, a dark Seethe no natural consequence can defeat. Its operations mean chaos to the order of the world and the world’s survival depends on Dew Delani and the fate of eight year old Jonathan Keller. She would have to find a way to estrange the Seethe from the boy. Or face her most viable option—assassinate the boy. Will this be a necessary evil?
Dew Platt loves the New York spirit, the natural high from the rush of the crowd and the simplicity of being alone in a noiseless room. She is educated in Writing and Philosophy, and has written and published, The Borrowed Wind, a drama-mystery fiction and Illicit Escapes (two suspense romance novellas, Stir & The Polar Pact), stir, The Polar Pact.
Dew has officially removed Stir from Distribution and from Lulu, both the download and paperback copies. The only way to get Stir is if you buy Illicit Escapes or the download version if you have Kindle. This change will take time for Amazon to reflect, but reflect they must. It’s good sometimes when you own your own copyright. There you have it romance readers. So here, as I say goodbye, I will talk about things I like about Stir by Dew Platt.
