My thoughts

I need to write. 

When things don't go as expected and slapping someone is not the answer. 

I need to write. 

When work gets too stressful and walking out is my first thought. 

I need to write.

After a long night of laughter, tears and new things to be taught. 

I need to write. 

When passion plays a part in all of my fears. 

I need to write. 

When my thoughts aren't humble and pleasing. 

I need to write. 

Basically, I just need to write because writing gives me a sense of pleasure and comfort without actually hurting someone. 

I'm leaving to write. 

HELP!

When I head out to work I always do two things. 1: put on my seatbelt and 2: thank God for waking me and giving me the heart to help people as he would. With that being said, we have to know who to help and when to stop. We can't help everyone, because not everyone hold the same values. The first two, maybe even three times you're helping, every time thereafter you enabling. 

Four day weekend. What to do?

Four day weekend, sounds like a weekend to relax and write. A little running around Saturday, Sunday hanging out with my homie, Monday and Tuesday I'll be getting some chapters done. Hopefully second book by late August. Some teasers coming soon. 

How does it start?

I woke up this morning smelling the morning air (sneezing because of my allergies, but still loving that smell of the morning dew) and thinking of a better way to commit murder, something more exciting, and different ways of getting away with it. Not almost getting away, but GETTING away to do it again. My mind races daily on different styles and obsessions that people have, ways that people would want to "get rid of someone" without getting caught. The biggest problem is, most people would have no idea how, but I do! This second book "The Unknown" will put you in the driver's seat, you'll take control of the steering wheel and travel down the path alongside Ryan. "My First Kill" will give you the understanding on how it all starts. It's heart pounding, breath taking, and you won't want to put it down until the last page. This novel is not about how the police and/or detectives catch these serial killers, it's written through the eyes of the sadist murders. My name (D. Odell Benson) was used as "giving Stephen King a run for his money". What better review can one ask for? The real question is.... Are you the next victim?

Agent phone interview

I was told, once my book is at it's peak I would lose friends and gain enemies because I would change. Can I handle that? Well, my reply to that... I will never change because I am who I am, my friends are my friends, and we just roll like that. I try my hardest to make time for my people, sometimes work or life gets in the way, but no one takes it personal. Needless to say, that book interview was a success. Now let's see if they are willing to sign me. 🙏 if not, no worries because the agent I truly want, I haven't contacted yet. 

Barnes and Noble

I was so shocked to see my book on Barnes and Nobles website I almost choked on my coffee this morning. Waiting for the stores to start selling it. I'm a happy writer right now

Up and running

My First Kill is back online. Still no word from B&N but one monkey don't stop the show. You ever wonder what it would feel like to seek vengeance on those that destroyed the vision of life as you knew it? To feel a steel blade slice through the flesh of another, gliding throughout their muscles and vessels, feeling the warmth of their blood ooze through your fingers. What if you can live that life without recourse of the law? Well now you can, with detailed, graphic, heart pounding visions that forces you to be a part of the storyline; whether you want to be or not. Once you open this book, you'll become Ryan, do what Ryan does, and be captivated by the life of crime.
