We took a road trip on Saturday through parts of western Virginia and over the mountains, to Lost City, West Virgina. Here are a few of the sites along the way.

There is a new site devoted to anyone interested in creating videos. This includes everything from short book trailers to full-length movies. If you are interested in anything related to independent video production, join the Creative Commons Film Group.

My friend and favorite author, Anthony Stevens decided to share some of his vacation photos with us. You can find them here: http://mentilucent.net/FlaVac/Florida_In_January.html
He also wanted me to remind y'all that the first story in his new shifter series is out from Red Rose Publishing. It's called Shifter Born and is a fun read.

Someone posted a large zip file with forty 1920x1200 wallpaper images of unusual prototype cars. I created a quick page for them. If you're a gearhead and want some new wallpaper, check it out.

Here's a wonderful tale about Validation:

My wife and I were having dinner at a wonderful place in Springfield, Virginia called Malek's Pizza.
A young couple in the booth next to us were finishing up their meal when we saw the guy get out of his seat and kneel next to her. I caught the glitter of a beautiful ring as he slipped it on her finger.
Needless to say, we had to get some pictures and here they are:

Congrats!

My good friend, Anthony Stevens, informed me that Lyrical Press, Inc. and Once Upon A Bookstore are having a 20% off Holiday Sale on eBooks.
For those of you who aren't aware of Lyrical Press, they have a wide range of great publications including Romance, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Erotica. Their publications have been getting consistently good reviews.
Recently, I've been sucked into the Common Ground series of Urban Fantasy tales that start with Guardian Dawn. If you enjoy an intense adult thriller with paranormal elements, this is probably right up your alley.

As many of you know, I'm very interested in models and dioramas and this fellow has put together an impressive display.

In a school parking lot, I saw this awesome red Corvette and had to grab some pics. Here's one of them for your drooling pleasure.

I was up in the area of State College, PA last weekend and here are a few images.

My good friend, Anthony Stevens sent me this:


“New Ickford Manor”

Go medieval. The hard way.

Lush feasts, sword play and pageantry were only fantasies until nature’s fury casts a group of renaissance enthusiasts into the reality of medieval England.

This group, who used to spend their weekends only pretending to be feudal lords and ladies, live the dream in a time rife with bloody power struggles and sexual dominance. Yet amidst the battles and turmoil, they learn how much - and how little — times have changed by discovering love and friendship in NEW ICKFORD MANOR.

Once Upon A Bookstore, Lyrical’s bookstore, will go live with our very first releases around 8pm on the night of May 4th.

The Lyrical Press main site will be updated around the same time, with Buy Now links added and active to get a jump-start on sales for our ‘official’ launch on May 5th.

Amazon Kindle and All Romance eBooks May releases will go live on those sites on the night of May 4th.


I already read an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) and must say, I'm impressed with the lush imagery.
