About the Book

“WITH A WINK AND A NOD” By Dallas Adrienne Davis Dr. Laura Willows (Protagonist), a woman in her 30’s, reflects on the past as she drives into a New England town to start a new life in a new City. Her work at a government experimental lab went awry when two of her colleagues were poisoned. Although she is pro-life Laura chooses to work for an Abortion Clinic; hoping to get completely away from her life at the government lab and out of the lime light of society. Her supervisor, Dr. Charles Knight (Antagonist), blackmails her into doing the unspeakable. Laura’s ex-coworker, Dr. Chauncey Sinclair (Protagonist), enters the picture in the guise of being in Dr. Knight’s corner. Chauncey and Laura team up against Dr. Knight, in hopes of bringing him to his knees. Chauncey Sinclair, a secret government agent, brings his team of men into the plot to overthrow the scientists who have joined Dr. Knight in their pursuit of a “Perfect Society”. Chauncey (Laura’s pet name for him is Chance) and his team are members of the National Independent Covert Agency. The N.I.C.A. is a secret agency under the direction of one man in the C.I.A., code named “Chameleon”. Dr. Knight has built a complex in the mountains of Wyoming with state-of-the-art equipment under an enormous dome with fruit trees, vegetable gardens and housing for several hundred people. A conflict ensues and the good guys win, with a few mishaps. The complex is redirected and turned into a youth camp for needy and orphaned children.

About the Author

About the Author: I come from a humble background. My father was Irish and my mother was German. It was an odd mixture that lasted only 13 years. Our mother raised 3 children single-handed. She worked as a secretary for 45 years for the George A. Hormel Co., now known as Hormel Foods. My sister, brother and I went to Catholic School and had a good education. I am the baby in the family. My brother, Don, was a T.V. news Anchor and weather man. When he retired he opened a Game Store and called himself “The Game Warden”; my sister, Diana, was a model in New York City, and she married and had five children and about 9 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren; my half sister, Lou Ann, lives in Blaine, Minnesota, and she has three children and five grandchildren. I married, Spero K. Davis in 1957, and we have four beautiful children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. In 1995, at the young age of 63, I had a heart attack and I died. I was revived by the Paramedics after about 12 minutes into my death and I came out of it with all my faculties. God bless and keep Paramedics safe everywhere. I believe I am still here for a reason, so I started writing. I write whatever pops into my head. I started with my Memoirs and onto this Novel. I have written, so far, 18 poems that just seem to flow out of my psyche, which I never thought I could do. I then wrote a short story, “Am I Dreaming”, about a friend of Spero’s who was in a plane crash. I have changed everyone’s name and made it fiction. I have also written two children’s stories, “Little Monty Visits Grandpa’s Farm” and “Little Monty Makes a New Friend”. I self-published the first one. The publisher is now out of business and I can’t get any more copies. I also wrote an Essay on my “Theory of Religion” (The Meaning of Life). I’m still working on that one. Now I’m alone. My sweet, loving husband, Spero, is in a nursing home in Perry. He has Alzheimer’s. It is so sad to see this intelligent man waist away to this state of nothingness. I hope I’m around for many more years to get everything down on paper that my psyche needs to dispense.
