I know they say “Don’t quit your day job”, but…

There comes a time when you should just sit on top of the world and watch the wheels go round and round.

I drove a thousand miles to catch my muse!

Catching Your Muse: How To Claim Your Artistic Spirit

Snead State Community College and Tyward Books, in conjunction with PDMI Publishing, LLC, are proud to present a very special workshop with producer/screenwriter/author Joel Eisenberg. Join us on June 15, 2015 at the Fielder Auditorium for “Catching Your Muse: How To Claim Your Artistic Spirit.”

In addition to numerous film and television projects, Eisenberg is the co-author of the eight-part epic fantasy series,”The Chronicles of Ara”. The first volume, “Creation,” launched March 15, 2015 at a standing-room-only event at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena, California. Eisenberg and his co-author Stephen Hillard are presently developing a television project based on this series.

Disclaimer: The 325-hp Volvo S60R that Edward Cullen drives in the Twilight novels is actually the perfect car to represent his character. The S60R is a “sleeper” high-performance car that does not draw attention to itself, with more power and capability than is apparent to casual observers.

The Cadillac CTS-V’s (as shown above) that my character Lilith Morrigan (President of the Vampires) drives are also perfect representations of her character. Louder and a bit flashier than the aforementioned Volvo, driven by those not really concerned with what the average bystander thinks. After all, during the Great Depression, Lilith was driving a 1930 Cadillac V-16 convertible coupe, a car priced on par with a small house ($6,900, or $95,000 in today’s money). Cars change over the decades. Human (vampire) nature, not so much. 😈

Nothing says “author” quite like…

One less entry on my bucket list

For my 50th post, some pictures from my road trip to Forks, Washington 😀

Tijuana Taxi

At last, I have found the legendary “Tijuana Taxi” 😀 (in the form of a rat rod 1938 Buick). Lucky I had my camera with me!

The very definition of "cool"

Now THIS is how you roll...

Are you cool enough to drive this car?

Triple-carb (3 Deuces) Nailhead V8. Rat-rod perfection.

Forks Pictures July 2010

As I prepare to return once again to my family’s permanent residence in Washington State (hmm, why does that line sound familiar?), I thought it would be neat to share with you some of the pictures I took in Forks last year. Click here for my post featuring pictures I took in LaPush in Summer 2011.

The old Quillayute High School in Forks (which the Twilight movies’ high school building in Oregon resembled in appearance) was beginning to be demolished at the time of my visit. The demolition was completed in June 2011.
