Book Description

April 2005
Kevin Allen, a rich, handsome author and self-reformed ‘Mack’, is now suffering from writer’s block.

Desperately in need of a great story in order to renegotiate with his publisher to maintain his extravagant life-style, Kevin decides to go back to his hometown of Chicago for inspiration. While in Chi-town, he gets reacquainted with an ex-love (Yolanda) that he’d last seen during their stormy relationship that violently came to an end.

Unexpectedly, Yolanda appears at a book-event where Kevin is the star-attraction, looking every bit as stunningly beautiful as the picture he’s had frozen in his head for years. She still has the looks of music video model and almost makes him forget as to the reason he’d ever broken off their relationship.

It’s no secret, Yolanda had always been the jealous type. And, Kevin’s explanation to his boyz, defending his decision for kicking a woman that fine to the curb was, "She’s Crazy!".

The combination of Kevin’s vulnerable state in his career, along with the tantalizing opportunity to hit that again, causes Kevin to contemplate renewing his expired Players-Card, one last time. What harm could one night of passion create?

Clouding his judgment even more is that Kevin feels like hooking-up with Yolanda might just be the rekindling needed to ignite the fire for his creativity in his writing career. But, there are just two problems. Kevin is married! ...And, Yolanda is Still Crazy!

More About the Author

Hey what's up everyone. This is Chicago Author Darrin Lowery. My last book was "Congratulations" which is the story of a woman whom finds out that the man she is in love with is promised to another woman. All _____breaks loose when the lead character, Tiffany is ACCIDENTALLY INVITED TO HER BOYFRIEND'S WEDDING.

My new book is now available which is Congratulations II. In the new book, Regina Holiday finds out that the man she is sleeping with in her church is engaged to marry another woman IN HER CHURCH. There is now a battle of the books with regard to which is better, Congratulations or Congratulations II. Please visit my website at www.dlsmith.net

Other information about me, I live on the north side of Chicago (but I'm from the south side), I have degrees in Behavioral Science and Clinical Counseling, and I'm an alumn of Percy Julian HS and National Louis University.

Writing is my escape from every day drama. My books are inspired by people I see, people in my life and my very overactive imagination.

Peace to you and yours

-Darrin Lowery

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick Shot At Glory, October 17, 2005
This review is from: Still Crazy (Paperback)
Kevin Allen, an author with one book left on his current contract seems to be agonizing with writer's block. It could be because it's his hope to renegotiate in order to preserve his excessive lifestyle with his beautiful wife Tamara in Somerton, North Carolina.

In a dire need to find himself, and give him and Tamara a much needed break Kevin decides it's time to go home. CHICAGOING refueled and anticipating the streets he loves will readily turn out a much needed story. Kevin quickly reverts from that married in love country boy, to that thug down Chi-town Playa.

What's that Bell, Biv, and Devoe sang... That girl is P-O-I-S-O-N, never trust a big butt and a smile.

The worst thing that could happen while Kevin is enjoying himself in the Chi, is coming into contact with Yolanda "Yogi" Carter. Yes she's diva fine, a super freak, and extremely dysfunctional. Kevin + Yolanda= Disaster. With all of the people sounding off as to why not, the craving is too strong to defy. It'll only be this one time. A night of passion comes at a high price.

Sweltering excitement crammed with lessons, drama, and unfaithfulness. Darrin Lowery obviously has a very unique love for music. I can't hardly wait for the other installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Certifiably Good!, June 27, 2005
This review is from: Still Crazy (Paperback)
Bestselling author Kevin Allen is in a slump. A writing slump. His next book will be the last book of his current contract. He knows that if he wants a more lucrative deal he really needs to bring it with his latest book. His wife Tamara suggests that maybe he should go back home to Chicago to get those creative juices flowing. Never in her wildest dreams did she know that that suggestion would be the first link of a chain reaction as Kevin finds his old stomping grounds to be a muse for his writing as well as his libido.

Yolanda Carter is thrilled to learn that her former fiance Kevin is back in town. She figures this is the perfect opportunity for them to rekindle the love they once shared. A love that never stopped for her. She's not going to let a little thing like his wife get in her way. Kevin will be hers by any means necessary. And if she can't have him, then no one will.

Darrin does a fantastic job of weaving an intricate plot filled with drama, deceit, betrayal, lust and revenge. Reminiscent Lynn Whitfield in 'A Thin Line Between Love and Hate' Yolanda is off her rocker! I loved the character Gladys. Very much looking forward to the sequel. Would love to see many of the characters return in the sequel or books of their own.(hint...hint...hint) This is my second read by this author. He's 2-0.

1.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS BOOK...I will not receive any payment for the book with this cover!, August 10, 2006
By 
Darrin Lowery, Author (Calumet City, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Still Crazy (Paperback)
Due to lack of payment of royalties, I am asking that my readers NOT purchase this version of "Still Crazy" If you want the entire series get the Still Crazy I, II and III which is listed here on amazon. Yes it's almost 30,00 BUT It has three books in it. You will be getting all three books in the series and Part I has been re-written and it's better. This book was ordered pulled off the market by me years ago and still, the publisher is selling it. I am not getting a dime from these books. Again, check the listings here for SC I, II and III. You might even get copies for 26.00. Support the author, not the publisher
