It's Your Turn, D. D. Scott-ville: What's your favorite gemstone?
Sexy Sassy Smart D. D. Scott-ville Wishes --- D. D. Scott
P.S. My fave gemstones are sapphires - especially Princess Diana's engagement ring - which now belongs to Kate/Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge. That said, I do wear primarily synthetic stones so as not to contribute to the human atrocities caused by the mining and sale of "conflict diamonds" (and/or any conflict stones, although the term does not differentiate among types of stones). Conflict stones are used to finance civil wars and terrorism, and are responsible for horrible working conditions for miners and their families. I'll take you inside the world of conflict gems, deep in the heart of Brazil's Amazon Rainforest, in CARATS and COCONUTS.

A CUT ABOVE CRAZY
(Prequel to Cozy Cash Mystery #3 - CARATS and COCONUTS)
CHAPTER ONE
There's crazy.
Then there's a cut above crazy.
And when your parents are two of the world's top gemologists, you not only learn to deal with cuts – brilliant, baguette, briolette and the list goes on - but you also get damn good at dealin' with the crazies that those cuts bring into your life. And by crazies, I mean the smugglers and thieves who transport gems around the globe.
So yeah, as you can imagine, my life to date has been anything but Mayberry. And I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I'm Zoey Witherspoon, Designer and Stylist to The Stars, a fairly new PI, and now the Princess of Caserta. And as if that's not enough of a crazy-packed resume, I'm also the daughter of George and Suzie Witherspoon of Witherspoon & Witherspoon, the world's premiere gem vault and lapidary.
Not sure what a lapidary is?
My parents are experts on all-things-gemstones, as in diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires and the four thousand other mineral crystals of the earth. They also are expert cutters, polishers and engravers of those same stones.
Seems like a luxurious lifestyle, right?
Well, it is luxurious, in a way.
But the sad thing is...this world can't responsibly deal with the kinds of wealth my parents cut from rocks. Just like the world can't deal in a socially moral way with the oil drilled out of our oceans and seas.
Y'all think oil is the only thing breeding and feeding terrorists?
Try handing those same thugs fistfuls of precious gems. Or showing 'em how and where to get their own rock sacks full of 'em.
The gem trade breeds an entirely different kind of terror. And I'm about to put an end to it...or at least the part of it I know how to stop.
Now you might think that, in order to do such work, you'd find me in the Middle East or perhaps North Korea or somewhere in Africa.
No dice...I'm in Michigan.
Here along the fabulous shores of Lake Michigan, it may be the end of the holiday season, but deep below the snow-covered earth of our Winter Wonderland, it looks like Christmas forever in my parent's underground gem vault. Or if not that, it could be the main warehouse for all the high-priced, fancy jewels you see dangling and dripping from every jeweler's ad on your television screen.
People may think my parents are just a crazy couple who believe they're Santa and Mrs. Claus. And for those of you who've heard about our typical Hullabaloo and Holly Too holidays, the crazy couple bit might, on the surface at least, seem true.
But under my dad's Santa Claus Workshop, through a secret entrance in the floorboards, lies the Witherspoon & Witherspoon gem vault, which makes The Smithsonian's stone-stash seem paltry by comparison.
While a lake effect blizzard is blowin' outside, things are really heating up down there...
Chapter Two
"I just can't believe one rogue elf could steal anything from this fortress."
Those were the words spoken by my prince and fake husband, Prince Roman Bellesconi Umberto-Vittorio Emanuele Vanvitelli, while stepping through the fourth solid, anti-drilling and cutting, magnesium and concrete-embedded door leading into our vault's main room.
"Let alone The Witherspoon Blue Moon Diamond, and now your Precious Aquamarine too!"
I couldn't believe it either.
But it was true.
"What bothers me more," I said, placing the coconut that contained our Blue Moon Diamond on one of my parent's cutting tables, "is why the hell did he give the diamond back?"
"Are you sure it actually is our diamond?"
I heard my mother's voice before I saw her.
But I couldn't see her at all now. All the vault's lights had gone out.
Roman grabbed my hand and used his body to shield mine.
"Easy. Everything is fine," my mother's voice created a much-needed sense of calm.
All at once, our Blue Moon Diamond began to glow with an intense orange-red phosphorescence.
"It's our diamond all right," I said, sort of relieved and sort of scared even more.
"How do you know?" Roman asked.
"Orange-red phosphorescence is almost exclusively limited to dark blue diamonds," I said, as the lights in the vault came back on.
"That said, this effect is never as intense with other stones as it is with our Witherspoon Blue Moon. She's indeed a rarer-than-rare blue beauty," Mom said, effectively completing Roman's first gemology lesson.
"And you can only see the phosphorescence in a dark room, using exposure to ultraviolet light," my dad piped-in as he joined us in the vault's main cutting chambers.
"You're right then, Plum Puddin'," Roman said. "Why would Stanley give back The Blue Moon?"
"First, I'm usually right. Second, Stanley has major issues besides his dwarfism," I said, thinking that was as good a place as any to start explaining my theory about our rogue elf. Plus, I couldn't resist teasing Roman about my golden gut instincts.
"What kinds of issues?" Roman asked, his Dark Knight aura giving the word 'issues' a very sinister undertone.
Actually, Stanley's size was a benefit in this biz. He could get away with a lot that the rest of us couldn't, but more on that later.
"Let's just say there's a major connection to our Blue Moon being contained in this packaging," I said, knocking my knuckles on top of the coconut's hard shell.
"Go on," Roman said.
As his protection mode kicked into high gear, his sentences always got more and more staccato, which meant I didn't have much time left to evade his questions.
"Stanley giving back our Blue Moon Diamond is probably a sign that it's small potatoes. Or rocks, I guess, compared to what's still left for him to steal," my dad said, having a seat on one of he and my mom's work stools.
I didn't like the worried glances passing back and forth between my parents, but they were right to be worried.
"What's left for him to take? And from where?" Roman asked, again using his preferred short, very pointed and spot-on interrogation-style questions.
"Our Blue Moon Diamond is small compared to what's left in Brazil," I said, knowing I could no longer put off what was at stake or where it could be found.
"Brazil? And coconuts?" Roman asked.
"Along with natural beryl crystal," my mother added to the mix.
"We don't just mine diamonds in Brazil. We also mine natural beryl crystal. What you know as emeralds and aquamarines and the even rarer still pink morganite, yellow heliodore and the rarest-of-rare, red beryl."
"Ahhh. Thus the reason for the missing Precious Aquamarine as well," Roman stated, his mind beginning to sort through what was still missing from our vault inventory and why it was gone.
"But why the Blue Moon in the coconut? Brazil has coconuts?"
"Brazil has much more than coconuts," my mom said, the normally robust color of her cheeks draining away to match the blizzard howling outside. "They have The Coconut Highway."
"It's a coastal road lined with coconut palms, leading to our largest mine," Dad added, supplying the final piece for Roman's mind puzzle.
"Thus, Stanley's inside joke of mixing carats with coconuts," I said, holding up the now empty coconut shell as my parents began examining our Blue Moon Diamond with their loupes.
While my parents got lost in their precious rock, I pulled Roman aside and out of their earshot.
"Stanley will stop at nothing to gain control of our mines."
"How do you know that?" Roman asked, his espresso-colored eyes now darker than a ride down one of our mine car shafts.
"Trust me. I just do."
"Well, one of these days, you're going to have to trust me, and tell me everything, Zoey. And I mean everything," my prince said.
And I knew he was right.
But how could I tell him everything, if telling him meant I could lose him forever?
CARATS and COCONUTS will be released later this month!!!

Welcome to D. D. Scott-ville...Bestselling Author Tonya Kappes!!!
Happy Tuesday, D. D. Scott-ville!
I've got an over the moon superfab treat for ya today...
Last week, we went "across the pond" with my MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE partner, Bestselling UK Author Talli Roland...
And I promised you this week, we'd Welcome to D. D. Scott-ville my other superfab partner in MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE...
So, ohhhh yeahhh...
Welcome to D. D. Scott-ville...Bestselling Author Tonya Kappes!!!
I'm sooo thrilled to have partnered with Tonya for our Christmas Anthology MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE!
on Amazon
on Barnes & Noble Nook
at Smashwords (for iPad, Sony, and Kobo)
As three members of the MADNESS Crew, we thought it would be waaay fun and very Muse Therapy-esque to give y'all the scoop regarding the inspiration behind each of our MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE short-story contributions!
Talli kicked us off last week with the inspiration behind her Madness Under The Mistletoe Story - Miracle at the Museum of Broken Hearts!
Tonya will pick-up today.
And I'll wrap it up next Tuesday (December 13th).
Take it away, Tonya...
**********************
Yes, this is the first line my novel, Never Tell Your Dreams Before Breakfast.
I absolutely love this novel.
No matter what authors say, there is a little bit on themselves in every one of their novels. And I'm no different.
My Grandberry Falls series set in the fictitious town of Grandberry Falls, is less than fictitious. It's actually based on my small hometown. And if you know anything about small towns, there is a lot of superstition. From which house is haunted, lifting you feet up as you drive over railroad tracks. It's just something that is engrained in you.
A SUPERSTITIOUS CHRISTMAS, in the MADNESS UNDER THE MISTLETOE anthology, is the prequel to my third Grandberry Falls novel, Never Tell Your Dreams Before Breakfast.
I wanted to give everyone a glimpse into what it is really like in a real small town, superstition and all. Starting with the Greenlee family seemed like the right place.
Maggie Greenlee, like me, was raised on superstitious beliefs, and it's hard to explain those to potential boyfriends or husband in Maggie's case. Sometimes they understand your crazy beliefs and sometimes they call you crazy! Either way, superstition is so engrained in your soul, it's nearly impossible to try to live your life without it.
I NEVER leave a house/store/restaurant through a different door than I came in. It would simply mean bad luck and anyway I can ward it off I will.
I thought it would be fun and funnier to write a book about a small town girl who moves away to a big city where she finds love and happiness. Or so she thinks, because you know she's been trying all her life to get out of that small town.
What happens when she does land that great job, hunky and rich Hampton boyfriend who thinks her superstition is childish? Well, it turns out that the Greenlee's traditional Christmas is turned upside down when Maggie brings her "other" home!
A SUPERSTITIOUS CHRISTMAS is a fun tale of family and what true happiness really is.
So next time you have a dream...be sure to never tell it before breakfast!

From a waaay brilliant Bestselling Author!
Here's the scoop on Tonya (or Super T as Talli and I call her):
I write fun humorous fiction, some with romance and some with a little mystery.
More than anything I love to connect with readers! I'm a huge fan of them and LOVE getting to know them. I love to make readers smile, and remember not to take life to seriously. KARMA plays a big role in my life, and I believe in being kind to everyone, even if they aren't kind back. I'm addicted to coffee, McDonald's Diet Coke, and Red Hots Candy!
I'm the co-founder of The Writer's Guide to E Publishing (thewritersguidetoepublishing.com) where we give writers the true grit on what helped us sell more books, and reach more readers.
When I'm not writing about quirky characters and even quirkier situations, I'm busy being the princess, queen and jester of my domain which includes my BFF husband, three teenage boys and two dogs.
Why write a book with beading elements? Once upon a time, I was the proud co-owner of a very successful beading company, Beadnicks LLC.
I'm a member of the following affliates:

The Inspiration of Museums
It was a stuffy day in central London, and I was flipping through the paper with abandon (okay, so I was clicking the online newspaper links with abandon, but that doesn't sound as good). All of a sudden, a headline rushed out at me: Museum of Broken Relationships Comes to London . A Museum of Broken Relationships, I thought? What an interesting concept.
As I navigated through the pictures – from a garden gnome to a garish pair of Y-fronts – I couldn't help constructing stories in my head. Where had those undies come from? What was the significance of the figurine? The more photos I saw, the more my brain raced . . . until I just had to write about it. And being the evil creator that I am, I thought up a situation to ensure maximum conflict: what if I placed a poster child for happy endings in a position of responsibility in such a museum? What would happen? Would she implode, or would she gradually become pessimistic? My main character of Rose was born.
When it came time for Rose to think about the logistics of setting up the museum, I called upon my experience at London's Dennis Severs' House, where there are ten rooms set to create 'moods' from between 1724 and 1914. As you weave your way through the silent house by candlelight, you feel like you're interrupting the invisible occupants, an eighteenth-century French Huguenot family of silkweavers, in their dinner. Their presence eerily lingers through the smell of food and various objects strewn carelessly about. With every room, you feel as if you've stepped into a painting about to come to life. This is exactly what I wanted the Museum of Broken Hearts in my novel to feel like, so I had Rose create real-life spaces in which to place the objects.
Who says museum are boring? For me, they're simply a starting point to tell another story.
************************************
How superfab muse wondermous is that?!
Now then...here's some terrific scoop on Talli too...one of my all-time fave authors:
Talli Roland has three loves in her life: chick lit, coffee and wine. Born and raised in Canada, Talli now lives in London, where she savours the great cultural life (coffee and wine). Despite training as a journalist, Talli soon found she preferred making up her own stories – complete with happy endings. Her debut novel, The Hating Game , was an Amazon Top 100 bestseller and shortlisted for Best Romantic Read at the UK's Festival of Romance, and her second, Watching Willow Watts , was selected as a 2011 Amazon Customer Favourite. Build A Man is her latest release. Talli blogs here and can be found on Twitter here.

Being Thankful...One Reader At a Time
Happy Tuesday, D. D. Scott-ville, and Happy Almost Turkey-Day too!!!
For me, it's not just about being "thankful" one day every year, it's about Being Thankful...One Reader At a Time...all-year-long.
And here's what I mean by that...
This past week, I celebrated a huge milestone - hitting my first 20,000 Ebooks Sold !
All-told, in just the last two months alone, over 60,000 new readers have downloaded the book that started it all for me - Bootscootin' Blahniks - which is now Free on Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, Apple iPad, Sony, and at Smashwords too!
And over 14,700 readers have bought one or more of my other titles - Stompin' on Stetsons, Buckles Me Baby, Thug Guard, Lip Glock, Fluid Fulfillment, Licensed For Love, Madness Under The Mistletoe and Muse Therapy!
Nothin' beats treating readers to great books for great prices...and being able to say "the first one is on me"!
I'm sooo very thankful for every reader who reads my books!
I'm sooo very thankful to be able to get to know a lot of you, whether here in D. D. Scott-ville or on The WG2E or on my Facebook, Twitter, and Goodreads pages.
I'm sooo very thankful to be able to pay it forward to tons of new writers/authors via my one-million-hits-a-month, two-thousand-plus-visitors-per-day grog The WG2E .
And I'm sooo very thankful to be able to pay it forward one LOL at a time...because I truly believe that everything is possible as long as you don't lose your ability to laugh your ass off!!!
Well, laughing your ass off and also choosing to surround yourself with peeps who bring nothing but love and joy into your life.
Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you!
It's such a joy to share the world with you!
