This is the coolest image! I have to admit that I couldn’t be happier. Why? Well, in a few short weeks, Shadow Visions, the second book in the Shadow Warriors series will be released! Hopefully strring interest in Aztec/ Mayan mythology.

An awesome shot of light rising from the temple straight into outspace. Is it to contact aliens or ancient gods?

I have no clue but to me the image evokes thoughts of Aztec Gods, end of the world 2012, good versus evil, and the Aztec Calendar.

All so very prevelent in the Shadow Warrior series!

“Dear Dios: A Cuban-American Movie”byVanessa Libertad Garcia

I once gave my feature screenplay Dear Dios, in one of its early draft stages, to a good friend for reading and critique as she had been working in entertainment for over a decade. The film follows an aspiring photojournalist with a lust for bi-women and malt liquor as she spirals out of control in the hipster club scene and turns bottom-of-the-barrel temp for an LA celebrity tabloid rag. The protagonist is a Cuban-American lesbian named “Dolores Amorosa Marti.” After much anticipation, the verdict came in; she loved it. Great news! … Read More »

Congratulations to them. It’s nothing new that publishers are trying to capitalize on celebrities, but then what happens to … Read More »
