Tiny Car Passion

This year I began collecting 1/64 Scale Diecast Cars. The cars I buy are mostly Hotwheels, Matchbox, and M2. They are the least expensive in the hobby and, in my humble opinion, require improvement.

In the process I’m learning to use all the tools & materials required, such as the wide array of available paints, solvents and primers. I’m also discovering how to disassemble without damage, drill and tap to allow the use of screws for reassembly, change interior color, upgrade wheel sets,  and the varied uses of an inexpensive airbrush. There is a lot to learn, and it keeps be out of the bars.

Here are the results of my recent projects.

Career Path?

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?

I am happily retired. Therfore, I don’t have to work on a career, I pursue my hobbies.

– VINCENT – (A Science Fiction Adventure)

Looking for a book to take you out of this world and place you into another? Look no further.

Jim Thompson is currently divorced, broke, and homeless.

 One year ago he lived a comfortable life, with twenty-five years married to a woman he loved, twenty-three years at a job he did not hate, and a country home he built for retirement.

  He is now fifty-four years old, lives in his truck, showers occasionally at a cheap gym, and eats the bargain meals at fast food places-if he is lucky. Unknown to him, his luck is about to change drastically.

Jim is being watched and evaluated for participation in a crucial mission; a dangerous assignment originating on someone else’s world – with the capability of destroying ours.

A Curious Orb Graphic

I like using ink to express the ideas in my mind. I draw what I picture in my head as I develop a story. The drawing I’ve included is a crucial part of Daniel Shaw’s story.

This is what was in my head when Daniel was being pursued by a mechanical dog through a forest he only minutes ago was dropped into. This hidden door will save him, and it is through this portal his destiny awaits.

Have a Great Week!

A hidden door, deep in the forest.

*Vincent*

Jim Thompson has fallen on hard times.

Last year – he turned fifty-three. He was happily married, had a job he didn’t hate, and owned a home he built with retirement in mind.

This year – he turned fifty-four, and is divorced, unemployed, and homeless.

In the span of one year his life has changed so dramatically he believes luck has abandoned him. Jim is beginning to wonder if his period of misfortune will ever improve – until, while dumpster diving, he meets Vincent, an unlikely visitor from another world with an incredible story and a critical mission.

Join Jim as he discovers what really matters in life, and if he can be the bigger man the alien so desperately requires.

Sayings: Beyond the pale

I’ve often said, when espying an injustice that was so outrageously displayed that no one could miss it, as being beyond the pale. The pale within a fence became an area of land within a boundary such as a county, and then to areas within Ireland that were held by the British. As these became […]

Sayings: Beyond the pale

Life as an Author

My journey in writing began at 59 years old, when I began educating myself about formatting, pacing, common spelling errors, and humility. The result was the creation of my first draft. After a lot of editing, multiple rewrites, and many sleepless nights, I published my first book, ‘Al Clark.’ Over the next four years that first book was revised three times.

The original Al Clark has now grown into a five book series with a short story prequel. In addition, I’ve published two standalones called ‘Vincent.’ and ‘A Curious Orb.’

Patience and persistence truly are virtues in the writing world.
