Pierre and the cats lived on an old weatherworn houseboat on the water called "Catman Do". It was a junky old boat that Pierre had purchased from an old fisherman named Fred for a song. They loved living on the houseboat, even though sometimes the water scared them." My cats, my cats, you did well tonight," Pierre crooned to them. "Tonight we will feast on shrimp creole and prawns, I have a special treat for you mes chiens." They reached the boat and boarded, each cat scampering to their spot. Pierre took off his clothes and put on an apron to begin cooking for the night. All three cats loved Pierre because he had befriended them and saved them from life on the streets of Key West. Pierre turned on some music and began singing a song, singing all the wrong words and out of tune but the cats didn’t mind, not one bit. [mehr]

During our self- described “trip of a lifetime,” from January 17, 2001 to April 20, 2001, we drove from Woodstock, down the east coast to Key West, Florida, then north again and west through the Florida panhandle, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Nevada, visited our friends (the ones that started this whole thing) in California and then returned east on a different route home. We stayed overnight in parking lots, trailer parks or homes of friends and relatives, and for as long as a week at a time in RV resorts, motels and time-shares. We were blessed to be able to gaze at, explore and visit many beautiful places, but we were especially stunned by the spectacular sunsets we witnessed. In tribute to those sunsets, I have named this book, “Driving Towards the Sunset.” [mehr]

This chronicle features an ensemble cast of characters and takes place in South Florida in the year 2000. Eboni and Christine Brown are sisters that are bonded by blood and magic. In the underworld, they’re known as Guardians. They are feared and revered but possessing great power can also make them targets. A mysterious woman arrives in town with her gang of assassins to feast on human hearts, but her plans are more ambitious than just making everyone a snack. She wanted to convert every man, woman and child into her loyal subjects. The feral new threat was just one in many that threatened their daily lives. In addition, lately, factions have been making a play at bringing forth the End Days. Bossman owned Club Rodeo and was the overseer of the Rodeo Academy. A secret society put in place centuries ago by an evil wizard bent on destroying civilization. The regimen of duties was to destroy any semblance of humanity left within any pledge’s heart. The academy consisted of several hundred acolytes from around the South Florida region who were recruited as dope boys, transporters, and lookouts—but other more promising recruits were offered more life changing opportunities. Michael Walker was born and raised in O-Town where life as shorty should not have been so tough. Life was hard and chances of becoming successful were slim to none; he spent most of adolescence in Foster homes or on the streets. A speech impediment and being poor left him mocked and ridiculed. He often times wished for a better life, when not wishing to end his own. His wishes came true when he met Bossman. The impending apocalypse was one in a laundry list of events that were over the horizon. Graduation also loomed in the immediate future. Eboni had plans to attend college in the fall, as well as some of her friends, but with agents of evil ramping up their efforts against the struggle, she may have to postpone her academic career.

Read how a road trip across the Keys of Florida, to the southern-most tip of the United States, cultimates in an explosive sprinkle of sharp snap-shots and personal mishaps that will make you smirk and want to pack your bags. The North American continent is fraying out along its edges like a carpet and I’m leaping over an array of tiny islets. Land is no longer solid, is dissolving, and the intensity of the light stings me in the eye till it hurts. Everything is sureal and I’m dizzy with excitement. [mehr]

Plötzlich löst sich das Land förmlich unter mir auf und ich fahre über eine Brücke nach der anderen über die Ersten einer Reihe von winzigen leuchtenden grünen Inseln. Das Fahrzeug hüpft förmlich über sie hinweg und ich weiß, dass ich den Teil der Straße erreicht habe, der auch Overseas Highway genannt wird. Die Sonne blinzelt durch die Wolken, bricht sie auf, und die smaragdgrünen Sträucher scheinen in der flimmernden Hitze des Tages im türkisfarbenen Wasser zu schweben. Der nordamerikanische Kontinent ist zu einem Teppich geworden, der an seinen Rändern ausfranst. Gleichzeitig sticht mir das Lichts fast die Augen aus und mir wird schwindlig. Mein Abenteuer kann beginnen. [mehr]
