Mr Wallace had a sister who was very different than him
Where he was short and fat, she was tall and slim!
But the differences did not just stop there. Oh no, there were more.
Where he was slightly diffident she was confidently sure.
They went to the pub one night to have a drink or two.
There was a quiz going on so they stayed for quite a few!
They won the prize that night and went home to bed,
But in the morning the maid found one; laid out dead!
Mr Wallace was dead in his bedroom,
But the prize and his sister were gone.
She was last seen on a boat
Sailing on the Amazon!
Now the reason behind his murder was the prize of which I’ve not told
It was the millionth copy of The Desolate Garden that Danny Kemp had sold!
I wish!

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp is a seventy-four-year-old member of The Society of Authors. He is also a bestselling writer. He writes stories that appeal to those who like challenging themselves to solve mysteries that are set out before their eyes.
His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself!
On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden.
Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company.
All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel.
He likes to write quotes and it's on Goodreads where you can find them--- https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list/72612151 An example of these quotes opens his novel--Once I Was A Soldier:--There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality.

I don’t believe ‘The Desolate Garden’ hasn’t sold a million copies yet. I know it will Danny. :o)
You have so much talent, Danny!
Thank you, Patricia, and thank you too, Onisha! You are both very kind.
