LOL  I should have said this puzzle was a painful one!

I kept thinking the first word was "somehow" until the D was inserted.

Never heard of the author.  Will have to try one of his books.

I thought sure you'd figured it out, Joan, when you asked for a U.

Pat, it's your turn to come up with a new Blanco puzzle.
