This was my guest room companion when I went to the Santa Barbara Writer’s Festival last weekend. He’s one of the Beeblebrox Bears that come from my friend Yvette, at yvettekeller.com/forty-two-pl.... The SBWC was awesome, as usual; a great writing weekend.

From mud to mirrors to the clouds above—progress never looked so reflective.

I want to show how the messy side of NYC can suddenly look beautiful when photographing for patterns, perspective, and the rule of thirds.

The juxtaposition of graffiti on a beautiful wooden door is common place in Barcelona. This graffiti is protesting fascism and racism; Guillem Agulló was murdered by a neo-nazi. Iit's important to me to understand the whole culture that I am portraying. The Ring of Roses.

I have seen so many lives change, pulled from this pit of loneliness and despair. The women I've seen healed and whole inspired my character, Cecelia. But first, they all had to go through some terrible times in order to find the way out. The Ring of Roses.

How does a pile of garbage inspire a novel? This homeless camp is an expression of how lost and lonely this person is. Getting to a place like this involves a lot of small bad decisions: so how does Cecelia end up escaping from the trap she got herself into? The Ring of Roses.

A symbol of status in Barcelona, pillars were put in the middle of the doors or windows to show off wealth. For Cecelia, these pillars were a barrier and an anchor for safety on her wedding day. The Ring of Roses.
