Book Description
Two years divorced, struggling between making art or porn, reclusive Eli lands in a tragicomic drama of sex, obsession and transgender romping. Stuck between hotshots and hookers, he describes his life as "living in a mayonnaise jar." Occupying a single pad off Sunset, he nurtures loneliness watching silent movies like "Lulu" starring Louise Brooks. Surviving as a part-time photographer, photo lab worker, and part-time pizza slinger, Eli hungers for full-time commitment. When sexy, blonde, wannabe-star Shana Sands arrives, arguing over pizza, Eli mistakes her weird "Startrek" contacts for real eyes, and what begins as a photo shoot throws Eli into a world he never anticipated. Shana isn't all glamour: she suffers an incurable sleep and brain disorder that hampers working, driving, cooking, laughing, being shocked or surprised. She lives on pills, a war against addiction; but withdrawals are plagued by imagined aliens entering her belly button. Eli explodes sexually with Shana though orgasms offer pitfalls: blackouts. Pregnant after the first night, she confesses past rapes, even by her brother. Are these dreams from her brain's inability to handle the drugs she cannot live without? Her star-chase is financed by parents in Nevada. She hates control freaks; she is Holly Golightly with excess baggage. Keeping Eli ignorant of her previous affairs, she seeks total love from him, knowing his hunger. She crowds his life with thrift-shop finds, her sex diaries, and vintage duds . She wears an old coat once worn by Joan Crawford. Despite devotion, her secrets create an undertow as she side-steps marriage, yet assures Eli he'll never have to struggle for money, shoot porn or sling pizza. Thepregnancy ends in a miscarriage on the bathroom floor. More possibly follow, though all offspring are candidates for her disorders. TV sitc

Ghosts of Cielo Drive

Pages : 234
Book Description
I wrote the book from my own unique perspective regarding the spirits or ghosts amongst us. One not commonly seen or shown on TV and rarely discussed, however, I live in what one paranormal expert declared, 'the Mount Everest of Haunted Houses' and 'The Disneyland for the Dead' and have now for over 17 years with no problems or issues. While just down the drive from my house one of the most gruesome and notorious murders of our time was committed on August 8th, 1969 when Charles Manson's 'Family' descended on Roman Polanski's residence on Cielo Drive in Beverly Hills and brutally murdered 5 people including Polanski's wife pregnant Sharon Tate. Now my home is visited by far more than those who were killed down from my home, the house seems to be a 'Ghost Flophouse' according to Mary Anne Winkowski, the real life Ghost Whisperer' she is convinced that it truly is a one of a kind location and my attitude towards my unseen house guests is also unheard of. You see I don't and am not afraid of the spirits that visit and hang out here. My thoughts are that we all will pass from this earth and those who have passed before us returning to visit us isn't something to be scared about, quite to the contrary I believe it is unique to have such an experience and that it's a positive to be one of the few who has had an encounter with a spirit. My motto is "You have more to Fear from the Living than you do the Dead'.
