Pirate Butterfly

We have been trying to sell our Pocono Mountain home and return to our hometown of Pittsburgh for over a year. We recently spent a couple of days there seeing relatives on our way back from Chicago. We have been getting more showings and the market may be picking up. This butterfly came to visit yesterday and I am hoping it is a omen…ya know, BLACK and GOLD…Pirates…Steelers….Penguins!

DreamMap™

After a year and a half my novel DreamMap™ is with the co-author and editor for the 3rd time. It now is 308 Pages and over 80,000 words so statistically a real novel! I am hoping to find a publisher but have developed a cover for a proof run that I will make after the third edit. This run will be for proofreaders and final edits but I hope to have it available soon and hopefully also in a Kindle version. This is a proof of the cover for the “proof run”.

Between Shots

Here is another one that has never been published for my passionate Facebook and Blog Zombie fans. As most of you know, I was on the location of Dawn of the Dead as a journalist for two nights and have published many of the better images on my commercial site.

This is George Romero directing his principal actors between shots on location in Monroeville Mall in 1978.

Touch Up on Location

There are millions of fans of Zombie Films and thanks to The Walking Dead and other movies the genre is stronger than ever. What is surprising to me is the number of fans that exist for a movie made almost 40 years ago. Not only that but the fans are passionate! I was on the location of Dawn of the Dead as a journalist for two nights and have published many of the better images on my commercial site.

However my Facebook fans keep asking me to publish all of them so I am starting that process even though most of these images have degraded in quality and were not that good to begin with. This is a picture of Jeanie Jefferies the blond beauty that doubled as an extra and make up artist on the film. She is almost as popular as the film itself. Normally I would not have published this because you can’t even see her face but this is history and besides Jeanie looks great even from the side.

Of course a number of cosplay attendees will be wearing costumes and makeup which makes it even more fun.
