Story not a product of smoking crack!
I just saw a review for Délon City on Amazon that made me giggle (like a man!), and also made me feel kind of bad because I haven’t been diligent enough in marketing Books 2 & 3 of the Oz Chronicles. Yes, they are out, and yes I’m working on Book 4. I don’t want to give a deadline right now because, for various reasons in the past, I’ve had to change my plans and push it back, but this I pledge to you, I’m kicking it into high gear.
Here’s the review on Amazon that I amused me:
Awesome SEQUEL and SERIES!, July 16, 2009
| By | J. DAVID (USA) – See all my reviews |
All I can say is, get this whole series right away if you want to experience an amazing dark fantasy. I loved The Takers, but Delon City really ups the ante and goes even further with Oz Griffin into the depths of madness as he tries to fight one horrible race of conquering creatures after another for control of the world…it shouldn’t happen to a 14 year old, but Oz is ever up to the task, becoming the leader he never would have imagined himself to be.
Ridley is either a master storyteller or smoking some serious crack…maybe both, but man what a story!! Get it now!
While title of master storyteller is something that I can’t in good conscience claim, I can assure you with great confidence, I’m not smoking crack, serious or otherwise.

I love how people assume that good art must come from drugs. Regardless, I think I actually called you a master storyteller in a review or post or something, but you can lay claim to that one, man. You’re giving the “young adult” tag some serious cred with this series.
You’re too kind. I think Poe set that stage that mind altering substances make you a better writer when really all it did was make him terrified of talking birds.

Yeah but with Poe, drinking and opium were second fiddle to the constant rejections and deaths of loved ones. His father abandoned him as an infant and he watched his mother die of TB. Adopted, he step-father never accepted him and he watched the guy (where the Allen comes from) cheat on his beloved step-mother as she died of TB. When, in his twenties, he marries his thirteen year old cousin (and apparently they were quite the loving couple, all ickiness asside), she dies of TB. That guy’s darkness definitely came from more than drugs.
Rabies helped too.
BJ – And everyone thinks Joe Jackson is a terrible father.
Scott – Poe smoked rabies?
Ha – in light of all the recent hype, my mind went to “Is She Really Going Out With Him?” Joe Jackson.
LOL.
