DD Godley is a little crazy, a little ‘out there.'
Okay… to be honest, most leave out the words ‘a little.'

You see, DD fluctuates between the realms of reality and imagination.
He would prefer to remain in the latter… alas, reality will not be ignored.

Writing has become his rebellion, his revolt.

Join the revolution! Be a reader.
Experience the incredible universe of DD Godley’s mind.
He opened the portal. All you have to do is jump in.
Escape to your own Refuge Planet.

Better yet, be a writer!
Open your own portal. Save the world from the pandemic of boredom!

Quotes by D.D. Godley (?)

“Refuge planets are stable, secure and isolated but require a subtle, more complicated approach. Weary of homelessness and aware of the rarity of this opportunity, they scramble to find consensus. The contract is very specific and non-negotiable. One species is to be processed, while all others must be protected and mentored. Terms are discussed and determined to be agreeable. The merchant is notified, and the contract is executed. Coordinates received, the Orbs are configured, mounted then launched. With renewed hope, the entire fleet alters course. They begin the seventy-three light-year journey to their new home.”
― D.D. Godley, For Sale by Owner
