Road trip




Today Amber is back in town from her mini road trip. She decided last minute on Friday morning to pack her bags and hit the road with Katia and Brian. No one knew what to expect but the trip turned out to be quite an experience, one of laughter, heartbreak, and lessons unexpected. They traveled to Las Vegas first, and checked into a beautiful suite at the RIO, provided by our good and dear friends Ben and Mark. They are professional gamblers and spend way too much money on their favorite games in Vegas. Katia and Amber went out to a club where they have a lot of friends they haven’t seen in almost a year. It was surreal to them that the people at the clubs were the same, and that not a lot had changed in the year they were gone. Katia is a professional ballerina, and a lot of fun photographs were taken of her doing her art on tires, or just about anywhere she could dance. Amber loves spending time with Katia, because she is a true friend who keeps secrets, and has morals of a saint. She is a great gal, and Amber respects her completely, and thinks she is truly a friend of a lifetime. Amber wishes she was a ballerina like Katia, so it’s funny watching Amber try to do a kick, or a leap. It always ends tragically, with a trip to the chiropractor and a promise not to try that again. The road trip ended in Calico, an old GHOST TOWN of the wild west frontier. Amber was inspired, and excited about the history she experienced while there.



Amber was saddened by the death of another friend Tiffany. It has inspired her to write a new book, where Amber plans on collaborating with a talented author who writes in the same genre of the old west. It’s fascinating how history repeats itself over and over again. Amber looks forward to meeting with and sharing ideas and inspiration with the beautiful writer Chris Enss. Certainly Chris has no limit on ideas, she has published 22 books on Amber’s favorite subject: The wild west. Amber has lost three friends in the last 2 months to self-inflicted end’s. It can either sadden Amber into isolation, and despair, or she can take the route she knows best- and create a project out of the losses, and share with the world a voice that could otherwise not be heard.

Last night Amber spoke to Margo Romero who is ready to produce Amber’s romantic comedy script MOCKSTAR. Margo is an extremely talented producer and director and Amber works well with her and her partner Jeff Linnartz. They have already produced Amber’s film HOOKERS FOR JESUS, which is in post production right now, and Amber came on board to help them produce the horror film BUTTERFLY directed by Edward Romero, which is in post production too. After a horror film, and a drama, a comedy like MOCKSTAR is going to be a lot of fun. Last night Margo said she wants the crew, and staff to all wear 80’s clothing while on set filming to make it a lot of fun.
I love her for her quirky way of making things happen. Casting an A-List actor for the lead is in the works now, and another film is collaborated on and working it’s way to production through Blank Page Entertainment and Movie Junkies Productions. MOCKSTAR is Ambers second script that was a quarter finalist in AAA screenwriting contest awhile back. I hope that they wrote a part for a dog, because I like dressing up in bows and growling for an audience.
