![]() "The Donne Deal" (retitled "The Devlin Deception") is a work of fiction, with elements of action, espionage, sex and humor, but Donne's serious policies are distilled into this mini-book (about 20 pages), with none of that "fluff," as some might call it, included. “A dictator with total authority, like Donne, should also have the wisdom to exercise that authority sparingly.” Agree or disagree? Do his policies follow that dictum? And what other questions or discussion topics might this mini-book raise in the readers' minds? "Commonsense
Policies That Just Might Work"

His 45-year background as an actor, playwright, director, television writer and producer, investor, trader, court reporter and in defense intelligence and security (he can't discuss that any further) gives him a unique perspective on the world (no more nor less unique than anybody else's, of course, but most assuredly different), and he brings that (along with his ongoing sense of amusement at it all) to his wrting and to his life. He enjoys challenging readers' brains and tickling their funnybones, and he gleefully rides roughshod over literary cliches and conventions while gently seducing his readers into emotional roller-coaster rides, with mind-bending twists and turns, in all of his work (well, in most of it, to be accurate). Happily retired and gloatingly distant from his earlier domiciles in northern climes, he sets his novels in and around the placid beaches of Bonita Springs, with hopes (on a MUCH smaller scale, of course; he doesn't take himself too seriously) to do for Bonita what Randy Wayne White has done for Sanibel with his Doc Ford books: put it on the literary map. As for influences,
he points to White, Dorsey, Fitzhugh, Buffett, Clancy, Laffer, Pirandello,
Rollins, Grisham, Eisler, Hicks, Cussler, Machiavelli, McElhatton, Brown,
Baldacci, Borge and hundreds of
He ages mostly comfortably (other than that Quarterheimer's thing) in Bonita Springs (at least when he's on his meds; when he's not, he writes). (By the way, that parenthetical about his meds is just a joke; he only takes a multivitamin and an aspirin each day. But he does use self-defecating humor often; he just can't resist it. And please don't inquire further into his work in the intelligence/security fields. He knows seventeen ways to kill using just his earlobes.) (Oops; that was
a typo; it's actually only seven ways.)
