Grady Harp – top Contributor: HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER 5.0 out of 5 Stars – ‘You just need to put one foot in front of the other’Author Richard DeVall understands the potency of satire as a portal to understanding our individual and collective weaknesses and strengths. How better to reconsider points of view about relationships and life changes and challenges and emotions than to place these ‘sacred topics’ in the hands of a court jester!Wild and ornery, the ‘romance’ incorporates bizarre physical proclivities, gender blended trysts, legal intrusions, and yes – love, of sorts. The story is zany but at all times entertaining and a fun diversion for escape from a day’s chaotic demands.

Top Contributor: HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER5.0 out of 5 Stars Richard’s voice is new in more ways than simply being fresh to the literary world. His writing is complex, weaving through various periods of time – the present, the last century, Egyptian mythology, and more – and combining both quotations and borrowings from authors and artists of the past such as Salvador Dali, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Henry Miller, mixing these into letters of the past and of the resent and wild rides into delusions, drugs, sex and more.His writing is mesmerizing and thought-provoking and at all times entertaining. His book is not unlike a massive puzzle – one with missing pieces until the events scurry around to make them present. He writes fine mysteries and rolls them through his kaleidoscope of imagination and mythology and history and all the arts and the end product is dazzling.5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read Mature audience horror story of the highest caliber! Love this book! Richard Devall's unique writing style is refreshing.
