Self-Published Sunday Elephant Milk Diane Sherry Case

I am going to have to guess that you hear this saying every day. I have used this phrase right here in this very same spot on a different Self-Published Sunday, “don’t judge a book by its cover. Elephant Milk by Diane Sherry Case has a pretty snappy piece of artwork on the cover, but what does it all mean, and what exactly is elephant milk? Okay, check out what is between the covers on this one:

“Sean Hayes is driving a lime green dune buggy that a friend of hers traded from Elvis Presley for angel dust. A major motion picture is about to be released with Sean's accidentally naked breasts in it and she has just watched her best girlfriend shoot heroin, while Keith Richards nodded on the couch. Sean parks the dune buggy on Coldwater Canyon, walks down the hill, and lights a joint to calm down. There she finds a pile of black clothes, wet with blood. The Tate murders? It is 1969 and things are starting to get really icky.

Meanwhile, Sean's first boyfriend has taken off to Mexico and she has no idea exactly where he is. But a girl has to follow her heart. Sean leaves Beverly Hills determined to find her lover, even if it means joining a traveling circus and getting lost in a world of drum rolls and lions and Mayan glyphs. Even it means having knives thrown at her for a living, and facing a loaded machine gun in the hands of her rival. Somehow, she will find Frank, even if means going deep into the jungle, just in time to view a total eclipse, on the back of her favorite elephant.”

Let’s have some fun with this shall we? I mean just to look at the cover you need to chill and relax a bit there is so much going on. The ride and adventure Sean Hayes takes is not your run of the mill adventure/romance romp, no in fact it is a 180 from that. The circus for some looks fun, for others scary, here we get a glimpse of what may really go on behind the big tent and after hours. The thing of it is though, is that Diane Sherry Case uses many unusual vehicles to get her plotline and narrative to us: it is well written, it comes together, and it is rich and meaningful. There aren’t too many elephants out there that have a snake at the end of their trunk, flowers all over its head, a spade tattoo on its side and a ladder coming out its back. That’s the stuff I picked up at first glance. The thing of it is, the novel grew on me, I enjoyed it, and I didn’t even have to inhale, expose myself, or meet Keith Richards.
