It was a day much like this when I first climbed up Big Round Top in February 2009. It was snowy, icey, cold, wet, and damp all at the same time. It was surreal. It was like I was in a dreamlike state.  I knew I shouldn’t climb this hill in these weather conditions…but … More EXCEPTIONAL BRILLIANCE

I started reading the 6th volume as I am getting ready to release it soon. The story of Summer Ray started ten years ago and it is still not finished. There is a great deal of history as well as current events and as we know, some of those events are simply a huge mark … More VOLUME 6

  Wow! It’s been a whirlwind these past few weeks. I am actually looking forward to winter. Because that means, spring will soon follow as well as our finished pitch trailer. The picture above shows the 5 volume book series, a few storyboards as well as our pitch poster. The 6th volume will also be … More IN ITS TIME

We are almost ten years into our Summer Ray project. I cannot say that I am weary, but maybe impatient. I am anxious about how amazing the trailer will look and I just want it all done now. I want the funds to be in, so we can get started on Production. In my moment … More JOURNEY TO HOLLYWOOD

Yes! I love this battlefield. No two days are ever alike. I could never be bored here! It is more of an experience that over time, permeates your soul and you just have to keep going back. There is always something new to see. With the film, I want people to be able to witness … More LITTLE BY LITTLE

  I try not to talk about politics in my blogs on this site. But, I have written about American History since its conception. So, it is a difficult topic to dance around! I write about Presidents from Washington to Trump in the Summer Ray series. But there again, I have tried to keep politics … More PURITY OF PATRIOTISM

This picture doesn’t do the poster justice. But, in person it is crisp, clear and beautiful. This one has a mistake in it, so I am keeping it. But, I am pretty proud of this (almost) ten years of amazing people getting together to make this dream come true.  It’s hard to believe that with … More JUST GETTING STARTED!

    Although this is not the best picture, this is close to 10 years of memories. It will be a 16×20 glossy print poster that we will use for our fundraising….from New York City to Gettysburg; 5 of the finished volumes of the Summer Ray Series; some amazing people who have stuck this journey … More 10 YEARS OF MEMORIES!

It’s going to take a whole lot of talent to make this film series a great success. These women are part of that team of expertise,  strength, encouragement, and love! The backbone of something is the chief support system. Which is precisely what these ladies are – along with our Fiscal Sponsor – Carole Dean … More BACKBONE!

I ran into some old friends and was asked, “So, are you STILL doing the film?” I don’t know to do anything else, so…”Yes!” I have accepted the fact this is one of the things I am to accomplish in my life – a successful Summer Ray book and film series. But, they are just … More PREPARING THE PRESENTATION…TO PRESENT!
