Indifference - short stories by no one in particular had been updated and price lowered!

 

 I recently updated the design and re-arranged the stories in my first book of short stories. I cut one and added a new one and also added illustrations for those that didn't have them the first time out. The story "The Face in the Glass" was a head scratcher in terms of what sort of image to make and I ultimately deiced something "punk-ish" might be good. Originally I was going to do a mohawk only from the side. I decided instead to really simply and stylize a photo of me from the 80s. So not sure it counts as a real self portrait or not. I wasn't really going for resemblance as much as I was going for a certain look - much like I was going for for myself in that era! It would have been cool to colour the make-up but the book is printed in black & white so greyscale had to suffice. 

The book is for sale on Amazon as a printed book and a Kindle book.

The new price is 5.99$ (CAD) and the print version should be updated in the next few days, but the Kindle version is ready now. 

My book has been released!

My book of short stories, Indifference: Short stories by No One in Particular is no for sale on Amazon! There is a Kindle and a paperback version.

These stories are based on earlier versions and notes about various things that have been lying around since the late 80s and through the mid 90s as well as some screenplays turned into short stories.

The subject matter does have an 80s punk/new wave feel to them and the humour is a little... odd, as some might say. I have spent almost two years putting this together so if you are interested...buy a copy and make every person you have ever seen in the entirety of your life buy one as well. If you like it, please write stunning review and rate it so it has a chance of others finding it. If you don't like, we need never speak of it again.

I do not have any social media accounts, so feel free to tell people on Facebook, Instagram etc about it. To be honest I have no idea how to promote this thing other than what I am doing here, right now.

Amazon paperback: 9.99$ USD
Kindle: 7.55$ USd

Divine Perrine

The screen life of a sexy actress can go by in the blink of an eye- but occasionally they will appear in a film or two that will never seem to stop appearing on television. This is the case of Valerie Perrine. In the 70s and 80s, she was a staple sex-bomb chosen to play those hard-working babes (or gals working hard to keep that meal ticket) but Perrine projected a lady with smarts and determination beyond her curvy exterior.

She began her film career playing a soft-core porn actress Montana Wildhack in Slaughterhouse-Five (1972).
The Texas-raised Army brat turned Las Vegas showgirl turned Hollywood sexpot was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for the 1974 film "Lenny" and a Razzie for the 1980 Village People bomb "Can't Stop the Music."



She shined as Miss Eve Teschmacher - Lex Luthor's moll with a conscience in Superman (1978) and returned in the role for Superman II (1981). That year Ms. Perrine was on the cover of Playboy. Valerie never married- her fiancee, a wealthy Los Angeles playboy and gun collector whom she met while a Las Vegas showgirl, accidentally shot himself to death after a gun discharged in a tragic gun accident a month before their wedding.



During the filming of the first Superman in London, Perrine was dating millionaire playboy Dodi Fayed. She partied with the best of them (as in Alan Carr presents! piles of coke !!) and even dated Mick Jagger. One of her other ex-lovers "Love At First Bite" & "Mr. Mom" director Stan Dragoti served time in a German prison for cocaine possession. (He was also the ex- Mr Cheryl Tiegs).



Perine co-starred in the **always on cable TV** film "Maid to Order" with Ally Sheedy in 1987, and still continues to make the occasional public appearance at age 67. She was last seen on the big screen looking dynamite at age 57 in Mel Gibson's What Women Want (2000).



fun facts:
-------
Perrine has appeared on the covers of both Playboy and Playgirl.



Perrine told Playboy magazine in 1981 that she had her brass bed reinforced so her 4 large-breed dogs could sleep with her. Her dogs include Ching (Great Dane), Thurbur (Mastif), Oscar (Great Dane), Sasha (Mix) and Muffy (Great Dane).

Perrine said she experimented with many drugs including acid, mescaline, cocaine and opium.



Perrine is 5' feet 7.5" tall with measurements 38-24-35. A veteran Las Vegas showgirl, Perrine said she felt "dressed" in just a G-string and sent a photo of herself clad in one to Bob Fosse to help him recover from one of his heart attacks.

here is Valerie in 2010. Looking Great, Lady!
