Coming soon- From Bestselling Author, David Raymond....I'm excited. Are you excited?

Dr. Freddy Fluid is not your typical gorgeous superhero. His eyes flicker like stardust, he can breathe underwater, and obsessive-compulsive disorder has him wound tighter than a two-dollar timepiece. Freddy knows what will happen one minute into the future—in the next. Freddy’s psychiatrist girlfriend, the ever graceful Grace Whisperer, lives entirely in the moment—in the now.

When Freddy is abducted by an omnipotent alien, he learns the fate of the Universe lies within his brilliant mind, which is as stable as a canoe full of clowns in a cyclone.
Meanwhile, all over Miami, colorful characters are vanishing, finding themselves afloat on an alien vessel. Elsewhere on the spaceship, Freddy takes an excruciatingly comical journey into his psyche using everything from acupuncture to ayahuasca to balance next and now in order to prevent the Universe from—as the alien warns—kablooey!

Letter to Readers,

For those of you who don’t know, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s my superpower. It’s my kryptonite. OCD is a painful mental illness often mocked in, movies, TV, and books.

I was trained as a psychotherapist. I am a best-selling author. So who better to take a humorous dive into what living, and coping with OCD feels like? And, oh yeah, there’s aliens.

Please check out my new book, Time Noir. What’s it about, you ask? Well—

Dr. Freddy Fluid is not your typical gorgeous superhero. His eyes flicker like stardust, he can breathe underwater, and obsessive-compulsive disorder has him wound tighter than a two-dollar timepiece. Freddy knows what will happen one minute into the future—in the next. Freddy’s psychiatrist girlfriend, the ever graceful Grace Whisperer, lives entirely in the moment—in the now.

When Freddy is abducted by an omnipotent alien, he learns the fate of the Universe lies within his brilliant mind, which is as stable as a canoe full of clowns in a cyclone.

Meanwhile, all over Miami, colorful characters are vanishing, finding themselves afloat on an alien vessel. Elsewhere on the spaceship, Freddy takes an excruciatingly comical journey into his psyche using everything from acupuncture to ayahuasca to balance next and now in order to prevent the Universe from—as the alien warns—kablooey!

Sounds cool, right? Please click the link below and buy it now. Come on, you know you want to. Buy it now and get it over with. I’ll keep writing. OCD, remember?

I was holding my breath….

I eagerly awaited David Raymond’s third book and was rewarded with a winner when I finished reading it! David has a knack for making up the silliest names for his characters that had me laughing out loud many times. Once I starting reading the book, I couldn’t put it down. Oh, if I were phrumph years younger I would kick Grace out and marry Freddy Fluid, then name our baby Finn! Bravo David, you’ve done it again!!
